Taking place some 45,000 years ago, the film follows a group of six desperate people as they travel across the narrows sea in search of a new home; landing on the shores of a desolate landscape starving, scared and looking for shelter, they find themselves facing a danger they never imagined when they become the target of a horrifying and mysterious new enemy. Watch the trailer below…
A small boat reaches the shores of a raw and desolate landscape. A group of six have struggled across the narrow sea to find a new home. They are starving, desperate, and living 45,000 years ago. First they must find shelter, and they strike out across the tundra wastes towards the distant mountains that promise the abundant caves they need to survive. But when night falls, anticipation turns to fear and doubt as they realize they are not alone. Terrifying sounds suggest something monstrous at large in this landscape, something that could kill or steal them away. As relationships in the group fracture, the determination of one young woman reveals the terrible actions taken to survive.
The film stars Safia Oakley-Green, Kit Young, Chuku Modu, Iola Evans, Arno Lüning, and Luna Mwez.
Out of Darkness arrives in cinemas on February 9th.
