(New York, NY) – The thriller that shocked the UK and redefined the nature of horror is now receiving its highly-anticipated North American release. Troma Entertainment announced today the May 4 DVD release and May 25 Blu-ray release of Marc de Launay’s acclaimed thriller DARK NATURE. The winner of a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award (Best Writing) and two HD Fest Awards (Best Director and Best Cinematography), DARK NATURE is a chilling new film that combines old school terror, dark wit, and modern fears.
Shot beautifully in anamorphic widescreen, DARK NATURE blends the unsettling psychological horror of THE SHINING, the eco-scares of LONG WEEKEND, and the unrelenting dread of ROSEMARY’S BABY to paint a disturbing portrait of modern life in rural UK.
Hoping to enjoy a nice holiday in the country, a mother and her rebellious daughter travel to a remote Scottish community, but their weekend getaway soon turns into a desperate fight for their lives. DARK NATURE offers bloody thrills and the blackest of comedy as these women struggle against a brutal attacker who is hiding a secret that threatens to tear them to shreds. This smart thriller has a twisting, turning narrative that creates a sense of dread from the first shot and never lets up until the final seconds.
Highlights from the DVD include as follows: commentary track by director Marc de Launay, Behind the Scenes of DARK NATURE, interview with star Vanya Eadie, THE LAST NOEL: a short film by Marc de Launay, and a trailer.
