Ahead of its UK premiere this weekend at FrightFest, a poster and trailer have been released for Greek director Konstantinos Koutsoliotas’ fantasy horror-comedy Minore.
The Lovecratfian-inspired film follows a misfit group of locals – musicians, tourists, criminals, bodybuilders, and grannies as they band together to save a quaint Greek coastal village from an invasion of mysterious creatures. Watch the trailer below…
On a steamy summer’s night in Greece sailor William (Davide Tucci – Napoleon, Barbarians), on shore leave, arrives in a quaint coastal village to search for his long-lost father. The town is full of music and dancing and in a bustling taverna, where the locals are drinking and dining, William takes a shine to waitress Aliki (Daphne Alexander – The Ghost, The Fourth Kind). But after an enjoyable night, his quest quickly takes a sinister turn. A sudden mist engulfs the town and otherworldly monsters from the deep begin to invade, enticing the locals into the sea with strange and disturbing dreams…
When things turn freaky, it’s fighting not flirting that takes priority as William and Aliki join forces with the colourful locals – including bar owner, Pantelis (played by Eurovision contestant Christos Callow) – to battle the beasts. Everyone from musicians to bodybuilders, tourists to criminals and even a priest and a granny must fight the fearsome foes to save their tranquil town, with non-stop clashes and gratuitous gore all the way.
Minore will screen at FrightFest on Saturday, August 26th.
