Your first feature has to have an impact.
Last year, the horror-thriller Dark Nature first premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival and was later screened at the prestigious Cannes Marché du Film (the business counterpart of the Cannes Film Festival). Almost a year later, the film can now be seen in select theaters and VOD, as it was just released by Epic Pictures’ Dread label.
Dark Nature follows Joy, a survivor of domestic violence, as she joins her friend Carmen and her therapy group on an isolated weekend retreat in the Canadian Rockies. Led by the enigmatic Dr. Dunnley-whose methods are experimental and, at times, dubious from Joy’s outside perspective -the experience eventually shatters the border between reality and delusion. Joy begins to suspect that they are being stalked by her abuser, when in truth, the entire group will be forced to confront a threat even more terrifying than the monsters of their past.
