Julian Richards' acclaimed 2002 conspiracy thriller Silent Cry is now exclusively available to rent or download from Amazon in the US, Canada, Ireland and the UK, we've learned today.
Emily Woof (The Full Monty), Douglas Henshall (Shetland), Kevin Whately (The English Patient), Clive Russell ("Game of Thrones"), Craig Kelly (Titanic) and Steve Sweeney (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) star in the nail-biting suspense story about a mother's search for her stolen new born baby which leads her on a desperate journey through a seedy underworld and a confrontation with a corrupt cop.
Julian Richards has stated that his inspiration for Silent Cry came from American conspiracy thrillers of the 70’s including Parallax View, Marathon Man and Three Days of the Condor. He also acknowledges a debt to Alfred Hitchcock (Vertigo) and Michael Crichton (Coma).
The soundtrack for Silent Cry was composed by David Murphy (28 Days Later) and includes music from The Cranberries, Morcheeba, The Chemical Brothers and Tricky.
The film received its World premiere at Worldfest Houston where it won the Gold Remi Award for Best Suspense/Thriller. Emily Woof also won Best Actress at the Love Is Folly Film Festival in Vajna, Bulgaria.
