Director Andrew Cumming takes horror to its primal roots in his first feature, OUT OF DARKNESS. Set 45,000 years ago, the film centers on a group of six primordial tribespeople who cross the sea in a desperate bid for survival. As they traverse a foreboding landscape in the hope of finding shelter in the distant mountains, they soon discover they are not alone.
Written by Ruth Greenberg (Run), OUT OF DARKNESS stars Safia Oakley-Green (Sherwood, The Burning Girls), Kit Young (Shadow and Bone, The School for Good and Evil), Chuku Modu (Captain Marvel, The Good Doctor), Iola Evans (Choose or Die, The 100), Arno Lüning (Divine Comedy, Bad Girls) and Luna Mwezi (Needle Park Baby). Already raking in rave reviews for its compelling visuals and unique storytelling – including dialogue spoken entirely in TOLA (The Origin Language), a language based on a mix of Arabic and Basque vocabularies, invented by poet, historian and multi-linguist Dr. Daniel Andersson.
OUT OF DARKNESS from Bleeker Street and director Andrew Cumming arrives in U.S. theaters on February 9. See the trailer now!
