A LONELY PLACE FOR DYING, the critically acclaimed new dramatic thriller starring and produced by AMERICAN HORROR STORY star James Cromwell, has been banned in Russia.

Director Justin Eugene Evans has been given no reason for the ban in Russia, but can only assume it’s because of the brow-raising and controversial storyline.
