Four bank robbers, on the run from the law, take refuge in a house owned by a young woman and her mysterious father. Suddenly, the four find themselves facing dark forces, trapped in the hour when "souls are split between the powers of Darkness and Light".

Made for the "magic number" of $7,000, The Dividing Hour was the brainchild of writers Mike Prosser and David Walker, who produced the film with Jeff Yarnall and Greg James. The movie was directed by Prosser. Like most indies, The Dividing Hour boasts a cast that doubled as the crew. James, Prosser and his brother have leading roles alongside actors Jillian Hodges and Max Yoakum. Yarnell is also responsible for some of The Dividing Hour's multiple digital effects.

A four-year labor of love, The Dividing Hour is already a cult hit, even without a solid distribution deal. Go to the official site at http://www.playgroundfilms.com and check out behind-the-scenes photos, view video clips and (most importantly) find ordering information.
