Stone age horrors will be unleashed in the upcoming Out of Darkness, which had previously been titled The Origin. A brand new trailer arrives today, giving a glimpse at the harrowing survival odds ahead in this Stone Age horror movie.
Bleecker Street will bring Out of Darkness to theaters on February 9, 2024.
Watch the new trailer below to get a look at the unforgiving Paleolithic period set survival horror movie.
We’ve been told, “It’s a tense, emotional, and incredibly crafted film; so much creativity went into making the paleolithic world – including the entire language spoken in the film, which was created specifically for this by a linguist and an archaeologist.”
In The Origin, “A small boat reaches the shores of a raw and desolate landscape. A group of six have struggled across the narrow sea to find a new home. They are starving, desperate, and living 45,000 years ago. First they must find shelter, and they strike out across the tundra wastes towards the distant mountains that promise the abundant caves they need to survive. But when night falls, anticipation turns to fear and doubt as they realize they are not alone.”
Safia Oakley-Green (“Sherwood”), Chuku Modu (“Captain Marvel”), Kit Young (“Shadow and Bone”), Iola Evans (“Choose or Die”), Luna Mwezi (“Needle Park Baby”), and Arno Luening (“Divine Comedy”) star alongside Rosebud Melarkey and Tyrell Mhlanga.
Andrew Cumming directed The Origin for Sony Pictures’ Stage 6. Ruth Greenberg (Run) wrote the script, while Oliver Kassman (Saint Maud) produced the horror film.
I wrote in my review out of Fantastic Fest, “Andrew Cumming’s feature directorial debut, Out of Darkness (formerly The Origin), executes its high concept with impressive ambition. Not only does it travel back 45,000 years in time to tell the survival thriller, but Cummings and screenwriter Ruth Greenberg developed a fictional language for its characters. Combined with a handsomely shot production, it ensures that Out of Darkness beguiles, though it struggles to mine suspense from its thrills and falters in the destination.”
