In the distant past, a small group of people may not have a future.

Bleecker Street will release OUT OF DARKNESS (originally titled ORIGIN) to theaters February 9. Directed by Andrew Cumming from a screenplay by Ruth Greenberg, it stars Safia Oakley-Green, Kit Young, Chuku Modu Iola Evans, Arno Lüning and Luna Mwezi. The synopsis: “45,000 years ago, a small boat reaches the shore of an inhospitable landscape. Six people have struggled across the narrow sea in hopes of finding a new home. When night falls, hope turns to terror as they realize they are not alone. As relationships in the group begin to fracture, a determined young woman confronts the terrible actions needed to survive this horrifying and mysterious new enemy.”
