Deadline shares the first look photo at Golden Globe-nominated actress Romola Garai’s (The Hour) directorial debut Outside, starring Carla Juri (Blade Runner 2049), Alec Secareanu (God’s Own Country) and Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake).
“The film explores the story of Tomaz, a refugee escaping war in his own country. Haunted by his past, he is offered a place to stay in a decaying, claustrophobic house, inhabited by an enigmatic young woman and her dying mother. As he starts to fall for his new companion, Tomaz can’t ignore his suspicion that something insidious might also be living alongside them.”
The original synopsis revealed that “he begins to suspect she is enslaved to a demon and resolves to fight the creature and rescue the woman he loves…but all is not what it seems.”
Matthew James Wilkinson (upcoming Untitled Danny Boyle project) of Stigma Films, and Maggie Monteith (Brotherhood) of Dignity Film Finance are producing. Damian Jones (The Iron Lady) is executive producer alongside James Norrie, Bob Portal and Inderpal Singh for AMP.
The UK film is currently in post-production.
