"Fright Night Theatre Presents" ProgrammeSILENT RETREAT (CANADA) || Hamilton Premiere || Trailer
with short film PITY (dir. John Pata) || Trailer
Screened August 08, 2014
An orphaned young woman with a troubled past, is sent to a rehabilitation camp for young girls as an alternative to prison. The doctor overseeing this shady operation enforces a very strict policy: absolutely no speaking or noise-making whatsoever. No personal items. No direct eye contact with the camp administrators. What looks on the outside to be a rehabilitation camp quickly shows itself to be something far more sinister: a misogynistic experiment in social programming. Failure to comply, however, is punished not at the hands of the administrators but by the tooth and claw of a dangerous creature that stalks the dense, dark woods. The only way to survive the silence...is to SCREAM. Starring Chelsea Jenish, Sofia Banzhaf, Robert Nolan, Directed by Tricia Lee.
