[POSSIBLE ARG?] Unholymovie.com

I hate to be that guy, but while surfing I found a website for the upcoming "The Unholy".

The Press releases give a synopsis on Eworldwire Press Release:

Quote:
The film deals with a grieving mother, Martha (Barbeau), trying to uncover the terrifying secret that is jeopardizing her family. Along with her son (Brendon), Martha becomes entwined in a conspiracy involving a fabled witch, Nazi occultists and the U.S. government. The film is inspired by an actual military document found discussing elements of Nazi witchcraft that were smuggled into small town Pennsylvania following World War II by the U.S. administration.


As of Jan. 30th, the movie's site, http://www.unholymovie.com/ has been shut down "due to a class D cease and desist order by level 2, Department of Defense. No other information is available at this time."

I dunno, gang...Possible ARG, or crafty marketing?

It's entirely possible, seeing that it's an indie film, they'll do anything to get some good advertising.

No way it's an actual DoD cease and desist.
That seal is wayyy pixelated.

Checking the html source code shows that the DoD seal is hosted on unholymovie.com's webspace.
Looks like this is something the film creators are doing for publicity. Doesn't look like an ARG though, at least thus far.

Well...Being the good ARGer (and steadfast-bordering-on-spooky-stalkerguy-Whedonite) that I am, I went ahead and rifled off a couple of e-mails to the movies producers. We'll see if anything pans out.

i emailed again - "what have they been saying? who are they? what is all true? i have many questions for you." i just got a reply -

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I can't tell you at this moment. But please tell everyone you know that it is important that they do not keep you from seeing this movie. They tried to shut us down. But people will soon know about the experiment and the world's current issues will seem meaningless.

This has a definite ARG feel to it. First, there's the title of the page:
(haven't tried ciphering this yet)twhaetycsheienygoyuou

Also, there are these in the source:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
<!--cing yoou watchinn youu help mme caalll mmmee-->
<!--shouldnott b be heere sshould not bee heereee reading tihss-->
<!-- canatt bey trreeeaal -->


So we might have something going here
