Some pretty big acquisition news ahead of the American Film Market where Dark Sky Films has acquired all U.S. distribution rights to Caveat, the acclaimed new suspense thriller from rising director Damian Mc Carthy, Bloody Disgusting learned. Dark Sky plans a U.S. theatrical release in early 2021.
The film is set mainly in an isolated house on a remote island…
“When Isaac (Jonathan French), a lone drifter with partial memory loss, accepts a job to look after his landlord’s niece Olga (Leila Sykes) for a few days it all seems like easy money, but there is a caveat: he must wear a leather harness and chain that restricts his movements to certain rooms.
“Once Olga’s uncle, Barrett (Ben Caplan), leaves the two of them alone, a game of cat and mouse ensues as Olga displays ever-worsening psychological issues. With Isaac trapped and at the mercy of Olga, he begins to discover secrets in the house that coincide with the terrifying resurgence of his own memory.”
Caveat recently screened at FightFest in London and Screamfest in Los Angeles, where it received rave reviews. Here’s a trailer that was released to support the screenings.
