There’s one thing for sure these days, and that’s the quality of horror films coming from the shores of the UK and Ireland. With films like GRABBERS, SIGHTSEERS, TOWER BLOCK and much more on the horizon, we guaranteed a few treats judging from the positive buzz that they’re all receiving at festival and press screenings in the last few months or so. Add another film to the list. This one I hadn’t heard about, but this first look trailer creeped me out first thing this morning. CITADEL is brought to the screen by filmmaker Ciaran Foy, who makes his feature debut following his work on a number of acclaimed shorts, with the ‘ferel children’ thriller.
Here’s the synopsis:
The dilapidated suburbia of Edenstown casts a shadow over Tommy Cowley’s life. Trapped there by his agoraphobia since his wife was fatally attacked by twisted feral children, he now finds himself terrorized by the same mysterious hooded gang, who seem intent on taking his baby daughter. Torn between the help of an understanding nurse and a vigilante priest, he discovers that to be free of his fears, he must finally face the demons of his past and enter the one place that he fears the most… the abandoned tower block known as the Citadel.
Check out the new trailer below. The film hits US cinemas in October. The UK release is to be announced.
