With rising tensions against corporations hitting a fever pitch lately, it’s no wonder that an intrepid director chose to capitalize on that tension for their new film. FANGORIA is excited to premiere the poster for Night of Violence, a new film about corporate employees being menaced for illicit decisions, ahead of its premiere at this year’s FrightFest in London on August 21.
Directed and co-written by Illya Konstantin, Night of Violence stars Kit Lang (who also co-wrote the film), Gigi Gustin, Russ Russo, Abria Peralta, Vince Benvenuto, Netta R. Sommerfeld, Caitlin Borek, and Mark Lubisher. The film’s synopsis is as follows:
Following a major legal victory and the launch of their controversial drug Azlepta, a corporation’s celebration is cut short when masked townspeople posing as caterers launch a brutal attack. Trapped inside their office tower, a handful of employees scramble to survive as they’re hunted down one by one in a relentless, coordinated assault. With no escape and nowhere safe, the survivors are forced to fight back and turn the tables in a desperate bid to make it through the night of violence.
“This is my debut feature, and I didn’t want to play it safe,” says Konstantin. “We shot fast, with heart, and with an incredible team of actors and crew who gave everything. It’s scrappy, angry, satirical, and violent but underneath all the madness is a question we’re still asking: What’s the price of survival in a world driven by profit? I’ve always believed horror is one of the last great frontiers for fearless storytelling. If Night of Violence punches you in the gut and maybe makes you laugh nervously while it does, then we’ve done our job. We’re proud of this one.”
Night of Violence will have its world premiere at FrightFest on August 21 at the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square. For more information of the premiere and how to get tickets, you can visit FrightFest’s website. Check out the poster below:
