Fresh from its award winning premiere at The Toronto After Dark Festival, Silent Retreat directed by Tricia Lee will have a theatrical run in cities across Canada!
Described by Rue Morgue as a film that “beautifully blends supernatural horror with the terrors of the real world”, Silent Retreat tells the story of Janey, a troubled youth sent to a silent meditation retreat in the middle of the woods in order to avoid jail time. She discovers that the intimidating Doctor, who runs the retreat, is brainwashing the girls to be subservient women. If Janey doesn’t follow his rules, she’ll discover what lurks beyond the trees, and what happens to those who don’t embrace the silence.
For ticket information, and to view the trailer, please visit www.silentretreatmovie.com, like the Facebook page www.facebook.com/SilentRetreat, and follow @SilentRMovie on Twitter.
Lead by Chelsea Jenish and Sofia Banzhaf, both talented actresses making their feature debuts, Silent Retreat brings together some of Toronto’s best actors. Horror vet, Robert Nolan, who has appeared in many critically acclaimed films (Mourning Has Broken, Familiar) uses his extensive genre experience to give the movie its most menacing performance.
Silent Retreat plunges the audience into a terrifying world where even the faintest whisper can be deadly. Catch it in theatres, and remember that the only way to survive the silence is to…SCREAM!
