It’s coming to frighten a lot more people this fall.
Magnolia Pictures has announced a September 25 release date for NEVER AFTER DARK, which won the SXSW Midnighter Audience Award and the Overlook Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize for Feature Film. Written and directed by Dave Boyle, it stars Moeka Hoshi (winner of the Actor Award and the Critics Choice Award for SHOGUN), Kento Kaku, Kurumi Inagaki, Mutsuo Yoshioka, Bokuzo Masana and Tae Kimura. According to the official synopsis, Hoshi plays “Airi, a wandering medium who spends her life guiding restless spirits out of the world of the living. Summoned to an isolated country house, she comes face to face with a grotesque apparition with powers that defy Airi’s experience. As she digs deeper into the house’s past, a secret comes to light—and Airi finds herself hunted by a far more unpredictable force. For the first time, her greatest adversary is not the supernatural, but the living.”
