We have added the first trailer and two posters for Vertigo Films upcoming British/Irish horror thriller Outcast starring Kate Dickie (Mary), Niall Bruton (Fergal), James Nesbitt (Cathal), Karen Gillan (Ally) and James Cosmo (Laird).
A gripping, intimate, shockingly visceral portrait of the sidhe – Celtic fairy people – whose wild magic is steeped in blood, pain and ritual and director Colm McCarthy captures it all in his monster movie, murder mystery and Polanski-style tale of strange emotional ties.
Outcast Poster
When Mary and her teenage son, Fergal, move to yet another new home, it soon becomes clear that they live their lives on the run, hiding from someone or something, terrified of being found. Trying to avoid making new friends or connections wherever they go, Fergal finds himself caught between the affections of his beautiful and feisty neighbour and his fiercely protective mother who will stop at nothing to protect her precious son. Mary has strict rules which govern Fergal’s life without which chaos and terror threaten to ensue. Their hunter is Cathal, a dangerous and terrifying man, intent on tracking down and killing Mary and Fergal. What’s more, he is using a form of dark magic to find them. Mary’s only defense is to use the same ancient form of magic to protect her son. But how long will it be before Cathal manages to outsmart her? When the local residents begin to be brutally murdered by an unknown life force, the sense of fear escalates. Is Cathal the beast responsible for the killings? Or is it the beast that he is trying to destroy?
Brit horror fans will be able to get an early glimpse of the movie at a FrightFest screening on Friday, August 27.
Still no US release date for Outcast.
