Ruthless Drifters Terrorize a Family in Intense Trailer For COMING HOME IN THE DARK
Dark Sky Films has released an intense trailer for a great-looking New Zealand horror thriller titled Coming Home in the Dark. The story follows a teacher who is forced to confront a secret from his past when a pair of ruthless drifters take his family on a nightmare road-trip.
The film marks the feature film directorial debut of James Ashcroft, and it looks like this might be a filmmaker that we should be keeping our eye on. It looks like he’s actually got some solid filmmaking talent. I really like what I’m seeing in this trailer and it looks like quite an intense and emotional ride. Here’s the synopsis for the film.
A family’s idyllic outing at an isolated coastline descends into terror when high school teacher Alan ‘Hoaggie’ Hoaganraad, his wife Jill, and stepsons Maika and Jordon unexpectedly come across a pair of murderous drifters? – ?the enigmatic psychopath Mandrake and his hulking man-child accomplice Tubs? – who thrust them into a ?nightmare road trip. At first, the family’s terror seems to be born of a random encounter with two sociopaths?, b?ut as the night drags?? on?,? Hoaggie and Jill realize that this nightmare ?was set in motion 20 years earlier; and as they approach their mysterious final destination?, ?Mandrake reveals the horrible secret driving his actions?.?
The movie stars Erik Thomson, Miriama McDowell, Matthias Luafutu, and Daniel Gillies and it will be available in select theaters and on VOD on October 1, 2021.
