Nominated for Best UK Feature at the Raindance Film Festival, The Quiet Hour is a gritty post-apocalyptic thriller with a human story at its core. I love the sprinkling of sci-fi here and how the FX are integrated into the moody British landscape.

Synopsis:
In a remote part of rural, post-apocalyptic England, now occupied by unseen alien invaders, a feisty teenage girl sets out on a desperate attempt to fight back a group of bandits and defend her parents' farm, their remaining livestock, and the solar panels that are the key to keeping them s [Continued ...]...

Remember the 1977 film The Car? Well, good! Keep those memories intact because this is Not a remake of it! Oh, how we love original films! Director Sean McConville (Deadline) is ready to rev up his horror muscles once again in his latest film of the same name, The Car.
With a few borrowed elements from films like Christine and others, The Car tells the story of Ryan Davies, a newly released mental patient (gotta love them) who is encouraged to cherry out a classic car as part of his rehab. You know, you just have to keep the loonies busy or else they could get all murderous and stuff. In any event, the car he chooses to restore ends up being haunted by the spirit of a girl who died in it. Finger pointing, accusations, and lunacy ensues.

Now that his supernatural thriller Deadline has finally hit DVD, writer-director Sean McConville is revving up The Car . Nope, it's not a remake of the 1977 film - and I suspect a title change is forthcoming to avoid confusion - instead, it's another supernatural yarn about a kid, fresh out of the psychiatric hospital, who begins restoring a Pontiac Gto. He's paid an unexpected visit by the ghost of a young woman who was killed in the car and she convinces him to kill the four men who murdered her. Elements of Stephen King's "Christine" (the novel and the film) are apparent in the full synopsis which you can find at the official website. There you'll also find a teaser trailer McConville whipped up. Watch the teaser here!
