Fresh off the eerie success of ‘Blank,’ director Natalie Kennedy and producer Rebecca-Clare Evans unveil their spine-chilling new venture, ‘Purgatory.’ Starring Alina Allison (‘Punch’) and Thomas Grant (‘Pretty Red Dress’), this horror/thriller has just wrapped up filming against the haunting backdrop of Snowdonia, Wales.

Penned by American writer Brian Schwab, whose script secured second place at this year’s Slamdance Screenplay Competition, ‘Purgatory’ delves into the depths of fear. The narrative follows a young woman, played by Alina, en route to university, who crosses paths with a sadistic serial killer portrayed by Thomas. Battling her disability, she must navigate a nightmarish cycle of torment to survive.

Following the success of the award-winning psychological sci-fi drama ‘Blank,’ Kennedy steps into darker realms with ‘Purgatory,’ drawing inspiration from the tension-filled atmospheres of ‘Hostel’ and Hitchcock’s iconic ‘Psycho.’ The film promises to be an edge-of-the-seat experience, keeping audiences gripped from start to finish.

Joining Allison and Grant on the chilling journey are Rebecca-Clare Evans (‘Malpractice’), Bhaskar Patel (‘Snowden’), Pat Lally (‘Bohemian Rhapsody’), and Millie Thompson. Produced by Rebecca-Clare Evans for Caged Film Ltd, with executive producers Templeheart Films, Lyndon Baldock, Paul Sandhu, and Mark Sandell, in association with KenMor Films, ‘Purgatory’ secured financing through UK film tax credits, gap finance, and private equity investments.

Relative newcomer Alina Allison, known for her lead role in the British horror movie ‘Punch,’ and seasoned actor Thomas Grant, fresh from his West End stint as Albus Potter in ‘Harry Potter and The Cursed Child,’ add depth to the film’s stellar cast.

Brian Schwab, a laureled screenplay contest and film festival winner, takes his first script to the silver screen with ‘Purgatory,’ showcasing his talent in crafting stories that transcend genres. The film promises to be a relentless descent into terror, marking Schwab’s formidable entry into the world of horror cinema.

Prepare yourself for a nightmarish odyssey as ‘Purgatory’ unravels its bone-chilling tale, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats, craving the terror that awaits.
