U.K.-based fans of filmmaker Neil Marshall, the man who brought us such awesomeness as DOG SOLDIERS, THE DESCENT, and DOOMSDAY, will likely be glad to know that DARK SIGNALS, a film produced by Marshall that is described as "part ghost story, part slasher", is set to be released on DVD and digital on May 30th.
The feature directorial debut of Edward Evers-Swindell, DARK SIGNALS stars Siwan Morris, Gareth David-Lloyd, Joanna Ignaczewska, and James Cosmo.
Synopsis:
Deep in the heart of the isolated Welsh valleys, an eerie hush spreads throughout the deserted wilds. Stranded and terrified, single mother, Kate (Ignaczewska), finds herself entangled in an ill-thought-out plan: a midnight robbery about to take a dangerous turn.
On lookout for her boyfriend, and left trembling in the middle of a secluded forest, she quickly realises she is not alone. With her is the vengeful spirit of a murdered girl…
Meanwhile, across the valley at a local radio station, Ben (David-Lloyd) and Laurie (Morris) are midway through their last ever radio show. With the arrival of medium, Carla, and filled with determination to go out with a bang, Laurie and Ben are about to get much more than they bargained for.
Patching together fragments of ghostly sounds, they begin to unravel the clues to a frightening crime before doing do the unthinkable… making contact with the dead.
Sounds like a good time to me, but really all I needed to know was that Neil Marshall was involved. I'll watch anything he has a hand in, and when you add in the fact that the movie is said to be "part slasher", that guarantees I'll be watching it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, there aren't any details about a U.S. release currently available, but hopefully one will be following close on the heels of the U.K. release.
