One of the dark horse surprises out of the SXSW Film Festival was Ben Young’s Hounds of Love (read our review), which takes place in suburban Perth during the mid-1980s when people are unaware that women are disappearing at the hands of serial killer couple John and Evelyn White. After an innocent lapse in judgment, Vicki Maloney is randomly abducted by the disturbed couple. With her murder imminent, Vicki realizes she must find a way to drive a wedge between Evelyn and John if she is to survive.
The previously released official trailer is soaked in tension, showing abuse from two various perspectives – the abducted girl as well as the kidnapper’s significant other. The poster echoes this.
Young, who is already in pre-production on Universal Pictures’ Extinction, starring Michael Pena, and written by Academy Award nominee Eric Heisserer, will see his Australian kidnapping thriller hit U.S. theaters on May 12th.
Ashleigh Cummings, Emma Booth, Stephen Curry, Susie Porter, Damien de Montemas, and Harrison Gilbertson star.
