Monsters are real the debut feature from director Gia Elliot, Take Back The Night. Arrow have released the UK Trailer for the dark urban chiller that will take no prisoners.
Co-written with lead actress Emma Fitzpatrick, the story of an artist, celebrating her first gallery show. Who is assaulted by a strange supernatural creature, and takes it upon herself to track it down when the police doubt her hazy recollections of the terrible event.
An intriguing premise that mixes horror elements with current social issues to powerful effect. The burning question is ‘what are the monsters?’ When it comes to sexual assaults it’s obvious who and what are the monsters. Plenty of style, gritty and terror.
An allegorical story of violence against women and the dangers of victim-blaming wrapped in a classic monster movie, writer-director Gia Elliot takes no prisoners in her multi award-winning debut feature Take Back the Night. Finding herself the victim of a violent monster attack, Jane launches a vigilante campaign to hunt the beast that tried to kill her. But her troubling history of drug use and mental illness bubbles to the surface, causing her family, community and the authorities to question her account. Alone in her fight, Jane starts to doubt her own memory of the attack… and to wonder if the monster exists at all. Fuelled by formidable female talent both in front of and behind the camera, Take Back the Night is a terrifying suspense thriller that’s both an eye-opening exposé and a powerful rallying cry.
The rest of the cast for this one includes Angela Gulner, Jennifer Lafleur, Sibongile Mlambo, Corina Kinnear, Kati Sharp, Natalie D’Amico, and Jess Varley. Take Back The Night will premiere in the UK on ARROW from 10th October.
