The Apology: Anna Gunn thriller coming to theatres, Shudder, and AMC+ in December

Probably best known for playing Skyler White on Breaking Bad and Martha Bullock on Deadwood, Anna Gunn (who also has a small role in Kevin Smith’s Red State) is the lead in the thriller The Apology, which is set to reach theatres, courtesy of RLJE Films, on December 16th. That same day, The Apology will also be available to watch on the Shudder and AMC+ streaming services.

The feature writing and directing debut of Alison Star Locke, The Apology has the following synopsis:

Twenty years after the disappearance of her daughter, recovering alcoholic Darlene Hagen is preparing to host her family’s Christmas celebration with her best friend Gretchen. Late Christmas Eve, Darlene’s estranged ex-brother-in-law, Jack arrives unannounced, bearing nostalgic gifts and a heavy secret. Soon, Darlene finds herself caught between reason and ruthless instinct. Trapped together by a dangerous storm, a battle of wits escalates to a violent game of revenge.

Gunn plays Darlene and is joined in the cast by Linus Roache (Mandy) as Jack and Janeane Garofalo (Wet Hot American Summer) as Gretchen.

The Apology was produced by Lisa Whalen, Kim Sherman, and Stacy Jorgensen of Company X Productions.

RLJE Films’ Mark Ward provided the following statement: “The Apology is like nothing else you will see this holiday season. An intense and chilling thriller led by a tour-de-force performance from Anna Gunn. We are ecstatic to once again partner with our friends at Shudder and Company X Productions to bring this captivating original to audiences.”
