A Dark Song Releases a Hand-Wringing Still

March 22, 2017

Festival favorite A Dark Song will be released by IFC Midnight on April 28th

Indie horror heavyweights IFC Midnight have just announced the April 28th release of Liam Gavin’s A Dark Song in select theaters, on VOD, and via digital platforms in the U.S. Gavin’s psycho-shocker has screened at such prestigious festivals as Sitges, the London Film Festival, Fantastic Fest and the Morbido Film Festival. Prior to its April 28th release, it will screen at the Boston Underground Film Festival on March 23rd and the Chattanooga Film Festival on April 7th.

Synopsis: An unholy alliance between two damaged souls leads them on a disturbing descent into the depraved realms of black magic. Sophia (Catherine Walker) is a grieving and desperate woman with a secret. Joseph (Sightseers’ Steve Oram) is an anti-social, alcoholic expert in the occult who reluctantly agrees to help her. Holed up in a remote cabin amidst the desolate wilds of Northern Wales, the two embark on a grueling six-month series of dark rituals that will push them both to the physical and psychological breaking point. The debut feature from rising horror auteur Liam Gavin sustains an air of quietly creeping dread as it builds towards one hell of a payoff.

No official trailer yet but IFC Midnight has given us a lovely new shot of star Catherine Walker in bloody distress. Have a look and stay tuned for more on this acclaimed new title.
