DALLAS - AussieJournal -- A family gathering turns into an eerie game of confession in the new horror comedy TWELVE by writer and director ARTHUR MUHAMMAD.

Following the death of the family patriarch Pops, played by TED LANGE (The Love Boat), the family returns home and decides to take comfort in the age-old tradition of playing dominoes as they fondly reminisce about Pops. The game takes a turn when unbeknownst to them, they become trapped in the house and won't be able to escape until long hidden family secrets are brought to light. "The number twelve represents a lot of things in the movie," explains Muhammad. "The game of dominoes begins with the number twelve or laying down of big six. The history of dominoes is also very interesting as they were originally made from animal bones, thus the nickname for the game "bones." So, the metaphor of bones is prevalent throughout the film as the skeletons start coming out of the closet." The film also stars LANCE E. NICHOLS (Treme, The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons, Queen of the South, NCIS: New Orleans), TIFFANY BLACK (P-Valley, Hause of Vicious) and NORMAN NIXON, JR. (Grey's Anatomy).
