Shudder have been preparing their Summer line up of horror, thrillers and the supernatural. Today they have announced that Damian Mc Carthy’s feature debut Caveat, the unnerving cat and mouse thriller will be released exclusively on the streaming channel from June .
Filmed in Cork, Ireland, Caveat is Mc Carthy’s feature debut following a string of successful short horror films. It tells the story of a lone drifter suffering from partial memory loss accepts a job to look after a psychologically troubled woman in an abandoned house on an isolated island.
There is no official UK Trailer yet for the film, however the film premiered at Frightfest back in October 2020 and here’s the trailer they released. This looks atmospheric and we like what we’re seeing!
Lone drifter Isaac (Jonathan French) accepts a job to look after his landlord’s niece, Olga (Leila Sykes), for a few days in an isolated house on a remote island. It seems like easy money, but there’s a catch: he must wear a leather harness and chain that restricts his movements to certain rooms.
Once Olga’s uncle, Barrett (Ben Caplan) leaves the two of them alone, a game of cat and mouse ensues as Olga displays increasingly erratic behaviour as a trapped Isaac makes a series of horrific discoveries in the house.
With slow building tension, CAVEAT balances creepy interiors with the beauty of Cork’s countryside to stunning visual effect. Playing out like a thoughtful, long-lost 80s chiller, CAVEAT leads the audience on a path of twist and turns to an unforgettable resolution.
CAVEAT was produced by Justin Hyne of HyneSight Films, and cinematography by Kieran Fitzgerald. The film’s music was composed by Richard G. Mitchell. Mc Carthy served as the film’s editor.
The film stars Ben Caplan (Band of Brothers, Call the Midwife), Jonathan French (A Soldier’s Voice) and Leila Sykes (Missing Something).
Caveat will premiere exclusively on Shudder in the UK and Ireland from 3rd June.
