Burgeoning with a sense of dread from the off, Dark Sky Films have released the trailer for the well-received Sundance breakout horror Coming Home in the Dark, which tells the story of 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. Check it out below…
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, but 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.
Coming Home in the Dark will be in select theatres and VOD from October 1st, 2021.
