Detour is a tense, stylish noir thriller from writer/director Christopher Smith (Triangle, Creep, Severance) starring Tye Sheridan (X-Men Apocalypse, Ready Player One), Emory Cohen (Brooklyn, The OA), Bel Powley (Diary of a Teenage Girl) and True Blood’s Stephen Moyer.
Ahead of its release in UK&Ireland, Bulldog Distribution has released a brand new UK poster, check it out…
When law student Harper (Sheridan) wakes with an almighty hangover the last thing he expects at his front door is threatening tough guy Johnny Ray (Cohen) and his girlfriend Cherry (Powley) but he soon comes to realise that a drunken bar conversation the previous night is about to turn into a dark and dangerous reality. Harper obsesses that his step-dad Vincent (Moyer) is responsible for the car crash that has left his mum in a coma, and Johnny Ray is here to drive them all to Vegas where he’s agreed to kill Vincent for $20,000. Harper’s claims he was drunk when he hired him fall on deaf ears and he realises he might not be able to change course; if he wants to survive this, he needs to carry on down the road he’s already chosen, even if there’s clearly danger up ahead.
The movie premiered at this year’s Glasgow Horror Channel Frightfest back in February and the quality of the movie surprised many especially as the movie isn’t a horror, but a thriller. Unfortunately, I took ill and missed the movie but it’s heading to UK cinemas I can’t wait to check it out. For now have a look at the movie’s trailer below…
Detour hits UK cinemas & On Demand 26 May 2017.
