Fresh off its world premiere at last year’s Film4 FrightFest, Ruth Platt’s The Lesson is headed to this month’s Slamdance Film Festival, which will be hosting its North American premiere. While we wait, Jinga Films just unleashed a brand new trailer, along with the official poster. Dig in!
Slamdance runs from January 22nd through the 28th at Park City, Utah’s Treasure Mountain Inn.
The Lesson will screen at 10:30pm on Saturday, January 23rd and at 10:00am on Tuesday, January 26th.
UK distributor Icon Films (It Follows, Babadook) have snapped up UK rights and are preparing a 2016 release.
Robert Hands, Evan Bendall, Michaela Prchalová, Rory Coltart, and Joshua Wedge star.
Synopsis:
Learning can be murder in writer/director Ruth Platt’s astonishingly bravura art-house horror, the no-holds-barred love child of Ben Wheatley, Harmony Korine, Ken Loach, and Fritz Lang. Fin and Joel are two teenage wasters running wild in an arid rural landscape. But their bad education is about to take a turn for the intellectual best as someone at the end of their tether has decided to teach both schoolboys a lesson they will never forget.
A dark, claustrophobic, and bloody coming of age love story with a shock final destination, this morally challenging chiller will shake your well-ordered world.
