It’s a grisly preview of the film that begins its release on home turf next month.
Reel 2 Reel Films releases CARA on UK digital platforms February 17. Praised by numerous genre sites, it’s the feature writing/directing debut of Hayden Hewitt, and stars Elle O’Hara, James Dreyfus, Laurence R. Harvey, Michaela Longden, Julie Hannan and Johnny Vivash. The synopsis: “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 on-line 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.”
