Wickedness begins with innocence in IFC Midnight’s latest release, DARK TOUCH – available today in select theaters, on Cable VOD and digital platforms including iTunes and SundanceNow.
This dark thriller gives an intense and frightening peek into the searing imagination of French filmmaker Marina de Van (In My Skin) and stars newcomer Missy Keating, who The Playlist called “supernaturally skilled in her ability to modulate between disturbed and confident.” In a remote town in Ireland, eleven-year-old Neve finds herself the sole survivor of a bloody massacre that killed her parents and younger brother. Suspecting a gang of homicidal vandals, the police ignore Neve’s explanation that the house is the culprit…
Don’t wait another day to see the film that FearNet’s Scott Weinberg called “one seriously frank and powerful horror film…for the crafty ways in which it combines conventional but satisfying horror trappings with some themes and ideas that are legitimately terrifying.”
Synopsis:
In a remote town in Ireland, eleven-year-old Neve finds herself the sole survivor of a bloody massacre that killed her parents and younger brother. Suspecting a gang of homicidal vandals, the police ignore Neve’s explanation that the house is the culprit. To help ease her trauma, dutiful neighbors Nat and Lucas take her in with the supervision of a social worker. Neve has trouble finding peace with the wholesome and nurturing couple, and horrific danger continues to manifest. Haunted objects, an eerie score and a moody, oneiric look complement this intense and frightening peek into child abuse and the searing imagination of writer/director Marina de Van.
