OUTCAST

outcast

Mary and her adolescent son Fergal move to hide from someone or something that is hounding them. Fergal tries to make new friends and finds himself torn between his desire to give in to the charms of beautiful and exuberant Petronella and his mother’s maniacal desire to protect him. When their neighbors begin to be brutally killed by a mysterious force, terror gains the upper hand. Is the murderer ferocious Cathal, who has been hunting for Mary and Fergal, or is the man trying to free them from the creature that is persecuting them?

“It was to try and make a film that we wanted to see. All too often modern horror films rely on gore, whereas to me they should be more like adult fairytales. Fairytales used to be cautionary tales designed to frighten people into realising the dangers that exist in life. Outcast is a story about the dangers of suppressing your masculinity and sexuality, how that suppression can ultimately lead to violence, rage and the emergence of an inner beast.”
