Not sure THE VILLAGE OF SHADOWS will quite fit the mold of new wave French torture flicks (INSIDE, MARTYRS), but the feature debut from director Fouad Benhammou looks and sounds pretty f*ckin’ intriguing. We just landed a simple logline and international one-sheet for the joint, as well as a few stills…so by all means, get after ’em underneath!
Co-written with Benhammou by Pascal Jaubert and Lionel Olenga – THE VILLAGE OF SHADOWS follows:
A group of friends who take to the road to spend the weekend in the village of RUIFLEC. When they arrive, some disappear mysteriously, without explanation. The others, while trying to rediscover them, will do anything to remain alive and to escape from the…Village of the Shadows.
Christa Theret, Axel Kiener, Barbara Goenaga, Cyrille Thouvenin, Fabrice Josso and Richard Darbois all star in the flick, which looks to release in France on November 17th.
More as we rake it…
