“He had to hold his breath before he realized the pounding in his ears was his own heartbeat.” Cinephobia Releasing + Bounty Films has released an official trailer for The Latent Image, a British mystery thriller set at a cabin in the US. This initially premiered at the 2022 Soho Horror Film Festival in London last year, with a US release set for September. A handsome stranger appears at a young thriller writer’s cabin deep in the American wilderness. This stranger unexpectedly provides a source of inspiration, sexual interest and fear… Mysterious, intriguing, attractive and terrifying, has he found the perfect inspiration for his new book or are his darkest fantasies about to come to life? The small ensemble cast of this indie horror feature includes Joshua Tonks, William Tippery, and Jay Clift as the stranger. It is adapted from a short film made by the director previously. This looks better than it sounds, with plenty of twists and turns, of course.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Alexander McGregor Birrell’s The Latent Image, from YouTube:
Thriller writer Ben (Joshua Tonks), struggling for inspiration, retreats to an isolated rural cabin to start on his latest novel and to escape the growing tension with his boyfriend. Working late into the night, he wakes to find a wounded man in the cabin, claiming to be a hunter whose car had broken down nearby. Intrigued & attracted to the mysterious, handsome intruder, Ben decides to secretly use him as inspiration as the antagonist for his new book: a savage murder believed to have taken place in the very cabin he has rented. The Latent Image is both written and directed by indie genre filmmaker Alexander McGregor Birrell, director of the indie films Braincell and Sleepaway Slasher previously, plus a few other short films. From a story by Alexander McGregor Birrell and Joshua Tonks. It’s produced by Cedric Andries. Cinephobia will debut The Latent Image in select US theaters + on VOD starting October 8th, 2023 this fall. Curious?
