Header is a 2006 horror film directed by Archibald Flancranstin. Adapted from Edward Lee's novella, it is set amid a provincial community and the untamed backwoods of West Virginia. Lee makes his film debut in the movie. Header was released on DVD by Synapse Films on June 30, 2009.
Header parallels the grueling psychological journeys taken by Stewart Cummings, a jaded ATF Special Agent working his dead-end job and Travis Clyde Tuckton, a bumpkin ex-con who returns home from prison to be with his handicapped grandfather, Jake Martin. Stewart struggles to provide for his sickly girlfriend, Kathy, whose medicine cost more than he can afford – that is until he starts running narcotics across the county line for a man named Dutch. Meanwhile, Travis’ grandfather educates his grandson about generations of family feuds and encourages him to enact revenge. Their stories become linked and descend into barbarity when Stewart begins to investigate the nauseatingly violent murders of mountain-folk in the area. Both Stewart and Travis blindly follow the motivating force of love, justifying their actions along the way, until they’re led down colliding paths of death and self-destruction.
My lust, your fright
Your love, my sore
My wish, your deepest scar
My warmth, your shelter
Your smile, my sickness
My demands will never stop
You belong to me
Come make all of my dreams get lost
In your salvation
Your weakness is the fuel of my desire
I wanna take you with me to
my inner wonderland
You´ll see a dark and beautiful world
Of pleasure and sacrifice
There´s no escape
I´ll convert you in a prisoner
Of my unfair desire
Come and see through my clear
Mirror of tears
Come make all of my dreams get lost
In your salvation
Your weakness is the fuel of my desire
Come make the darkness close the door
To your own freedom
You´ll be the prisoner of a lonely soul
Translucent eyes will lead you down
To my scars
You will feel the rage behind
