A television ghost-hunting visit brings the surviving victim back to the killer’s home.
The fortune-telling machine in Harbinger contains the spirit of a serial killer seeking to return to life. Its tarot readings predict deaths for the people entering the house where it stands. Filmmakers’ official project description and credits.
The visitors include a ghost-hunting television crew and the killer’s only surviving victim. Their return gives the machine a specific audience: people investigating the site alongside someone who has already survived its former occupant. Filmmakers’ official project description and credits.
The device joins two functions that would ordinarily remain separate. It presents itself as a source of knowledge about the future, while the presence inside it has its own purpose. The filmmakers’ project description connects that purpose to resurrection and revenge. Filmmakers’ official project description and credits.
James Crow directed Harbinger from a screenplay by Simon Cluett. The Shogun Films production lists Carole Ann Ford, Tony Sands, Peter Woodward, Gary Webster, and Jeanine Sothcott among its cast. The house visit and the machine’s readings provide the framework for the supernatural threat. Filmmakers’ official project description and credits.
