While fans of the ‘X-Files’ await Chris Carter’s return from limbo (another case of ‘where are they now?’), you can catch Scully ala Gillian Anderson starring alongside Danny Dyer in STRAIGHTHEADS, which is being released in UK cinemas April 20 through Verve Pictures.
The film centres on Adam who is invited by a beautiful, confident older woman he has just met to accompany her to a lavish party in the country. That night, exhilarated by the sexual chemistry they share, and the highly charged sex they have just had, Alice and Adam speed away from the party down a wooded and desolate road in Alice’s fast car. In a moment of distraction, their attention fixed on each other rather than the road, a fateful collision occurs which catapults them both into the path of a most vicious and brutal attack, the consequences of which leave them emotionally and physically scarred. What happens next is a brutal tale of revenge, but at least it appears Scully finally gets some (no thanks to that Duchovny guy).
