A remote village in Quebec is terrorized by a flesh-eating plague, in the latest from Robin Aubert.
Actor Marc-André Grondin (Goon) stars in the arthouse horror thriller Les Affamés (Ravenous), alongside actress Monia Chokri (Venice/TIFF 2016 selection Réparer les vivants), Veteran actresses Micheline Lanctôt (My Internship in Canada) and Brigitte Poupart (Monsieur Lazhar).
Directed by Aubert, who also penned the script, “The film follows a group of rural villagers as they try to escape their family and friends, who have turned into flesh-eating predators in the woods.”
Ahead of its Toronto International Film Festival premiere, Bloody Disgusting scored some footage that’s awesome. It shows a disheveled woman in her car who catches a glimpse of a zombie in her mirror. She exits the vehicle and slaughters the undead attacker with a machete. This looks like a potential festival surprise!
Les Affamés is produced by Stéphanie Morissette’s La Maison De Prod, which launched in 2013 with Denis Cote’s Berlinale winner Vic+Flo Saw A Bear.
