FrightFest UK: "CARA" Bringing Psychological Horror To Gory New Heights!
In just a few short days, FrightFest UK will begin its annual film festival celebrating 25 years of bringing independent genre films from the UK and across the world to the masses. One of the best things about film festival season is the chance to see what amazing, new horror flicks will be unleashed upon the world in the next 12 months. We here at Macabre Daily will have a handful of reviews, interviews, and coverage for films that will be gracing the silver screens in the UK, and have another one to add to our list of “movies we have to see”!
“Cara” is one of the latest additions to the FrightFest UK lineup, and we have all the details about this gory, psychological thriller for you below. Check out the press release, and we look forward to hearing reactions from this one after it premieres on August 25, 2024!
From The Press Release:
Meet Cara, if you dare, in a brand-new gore-filled psychological horror that’s set for its World Premiere at FrightFest 2024 this August and Reel 2 Reel is delighted to announce that following the festival, the film is set for a digital release with the date to be announced.
In a jaw-dropping feature debut, writer-director Hayden Hewitt (Lips, Unseen) brings us this blood-curdling horror starring Elle O'Hara (Memories of Another, When Darkness Falls) as the eponymous Cara – a young woman determined to avoid being sent back to the psychiatric hospital where she suffered horrific abuse – no matter what it takes.
James Dreyfus (House of the Dragon, Notting Hill), Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede 2, Mannequin) Michaela Longden (Book of Monsters, Coronation Street), Julie Hannan (Supernova, Shetland) and Johnny Vivash (Contact, Walking Against the Rain) also star.
Cara's world is spiraling out of control. Haunted by her traumatic past, she lives with a mentally unstable roommate and struggles with a failed career as an online sex worker. Her father is unable to communicate, while her well-meaning mother offers little support. But above all, Cara is consumed by a terrifying belief that there’s a conspiracy to send her back to the harrowing institution.
She devises a desperate and disturbing plan to ensure that she will never be forced to return to Sunnyside Hospital. With the help of a submissive client, she sets the wheels in motion—unleashing shockingly brutal consequences.
Cara will never go back... whatever the cost.
World Premiere at FrightFest on 25 August 2024
Digital release to follow from Reel 2 Reel Films – February 3, 2025
