We've learned of some pretty big acquisition news ahead of November's American Film Market, as Dark Sky Films has acquired all U.S. distribution rights to Caveat, the acclaimed new suspense thriller from rising director Damian Mc Carthy. Dark Sky parent company MPI Media Group will be handling worldwide sales of the film.
Dark Sky plans a U.S. theatrical release in early 2021.
The film is set mainly in an isolated house on a remote island...
"When Isaac (Jonathan French), a lone drifter with partial memory loss, accepts a job to look after his landlord's niece Olga (Leila Sykes) for a few days it all seems like easy money, but there is a caveat: he must wear a leather harness and chain that restricts his movements to certain rooms. Once Olga's uncle, Barrett (Ben Caplan), leaves the two of them alone, a game of cat and mouse ensues as Olga displays ever worsening psychological issues. With Isaac trapped and at the mercy of Olga, he begins to discover secrets in the house that coincide with the terrifying resurgence of his own memory."
MPI's Nicola Goelzhaeuser said, "Damian Mc Carthy's tension-filled feature debut marks the emergence of a major new talent, and we are thrilled to work with him."
Caveat recently screened at FightFest in London and Screamfest in Los Angeles, where it received rave reviews.
