Jamie Patterson’s (Fractured, City of Dreamers) alien home invasion thriller, Caught, as an official selection in the Fantasy Films programme and in competition for multiple prizes, Bloody Disgusting learned today.
Caught stars Mickey Sumner (Frances Ha, End of the Tour, The Mend), April Pearson (Skins. Tormented, Age of Kill) Cian Barry (Dr. Foster, Nina Forever), Ruben Crow (Doctors, Austenland), David Mounfield (This is Jinsy), and newcomers Aaron Davis and baby Regan Brown.
Filmed in East Sussex, UK where aliens were sighted in 1967:
“While on an afternoon walk with their children, two small town reporters notice the military camped on a hilltop. Debating the possible significance of this activity, they answer their door when two unusual strangers come knocking and find themselves held hostage in their own home.”
“Very excited to have our world premiere of Caught at Fantasporto,” Patterson stated. “This is a different kind of horror film. Inspired by films of the 70’s, I wanted a gritty, raw feel to the story because there’s nothing glossy about horror. This is my idea of alien art house.”
The film was executive produced by Robert Halmi and Jim Reeve, and produced by Christina O’Shea-Daly, Jeremy Davis and Alex Francis.
