A Glimpse into 'PURGATORY': Natalie Kennedy's New Film
Fresh from the UK release of 'Blank', director Natalie Kennedy and producer Rebecca-Clare Evans announce their newest venture into the indie film world with 'PURGATORY''. This horror/thriller, starring Alina Allison (known for 'Punch') and Thomas Grant (famed for 'Pretty Red Dress'), promises to be a great addition to the genre.
Shot in the eerie landscapes of Snowdonia, Wales, 'PURGATORY' recently wrapped up filming, stirring excitement among horror enthusiasts. The film, penned by American writer Brian Schwab, achieved second place in this year's Slamdance Screenplay Competition, showcasing its potential as a standout in horror/thriller cinema.
