Cinedigm & New Video take Ciaran Foy’s Irish horror flick Citadel

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Ciaran Foy’s Irish horror film CITADEL premiered at SXSW this month, and so impressed were Cinedigm and New Video that they quickly scooped up U.S. distribution rights. This is sadly our first time writing about the flick, but better late than never, right? We’ve thrown in the whole kit and caboodle with the intro…a poster, trailer and synopsis for you to get down with!

Starring Aneurin Barnard, James Cosmo, Amy Shiels and Wunmi Mosaku – CITADEL centers on:

Tommy Cowley, a young father inflicted with chronic agoraphobia since his wife was brutally attacked by a gang of a twisted feral children. Trapped in the dilapidated suburbia of Edenstown, he finds himself terrorised by the same gang, who now seem intent on taking his baby daughter. Torn between the help of an understanding nurse and a vigilante priest, Tommy sets out to learn the nightmarish truth surrounding these hooded children. He also 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.

Cinedigm and New Video plan on releasing the film theatrically, and through various VOD and Digital Download platforms. No date was provided, but we’ll be sure to keep better tabs when it drops.
