Last year, we informed you of an award-winning intense flick from Britain called SUMMER SCARS which was being shopped around by its director, Julian Richards (THE LAST HORROR MOVIE), on the festival circuit. And now, it seems that Richards’ efforts have paid off! Because SCARS has just scored a U.S. distributor in TLS Releasing.
The flick was just playing at the Philadelphia Film Festival and that was where TLA (one of the fest’s sponsors) took notice. SCARS will be going out under TLA’s Danger After Dark banner, however it is currently uncertain whether it will be released to theaters or just go straight to DVD. Take a stab at the plot:
A group of six fourteen-year-old boys who are befriended by a stranger in the woods whose behavior becomes increasingly abusive. He holds them hostage in their den and they’re forced to embrace the darkness inside themselves in order to survive the ordeal.
I don’t know. I’m usually not too keen on “abused boys” stories, but LAST HORROR MOVIE was a nice ride and SCARS has received numerous honors. Perhaps I’ll give it a shot.
Reason enough for a pic.
