Get ready to ‘Fear The Night’ on Lionsgate Play this 22 December
Mumbai: Bachelorette parties are supposed to be wicked fun, but in this case they’re plain wicked. An action thriller starring Maggie Q, Fear The Night is all set to make its digital premiere in India exclusively on Lionsgate Play this 22 December. When Tess, a military veteran and her gals rent out a farmhouse for her sister’s bachelorette party, they are ready to have the time of their lives. However, as the night progresses, they realise they are not alone. With a slew of attackers, edging closer by the minute, it is now up to Tess to help the women fight to survive. Directed by Neil LaBute, the film also sees Kat Foster, Travis Hammer and Gia Crovatin in titular roles and will make sure your doors are locked extra tight every night!
Talking about the film, director Neil Labute said, “I hope that Fear The Night is a nasty little piece of work—a movie that will burrow into your brain and stay there, playing on your own worst nightmares. I hope it will keep you guessing right up until the end and then keep you up at night long after you see it. It’s meant to be a relentless and chilling story about the people you love and are willing to fight for, facing off against the kind of people that you sometimes have to stand up to and fight against. Imagine running into the kind of criminals that you fear the most and then realizing that you are going to have to fight them to death and there’s no one coming to save you and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Indulge in a night of survival and action with Fear The Night only on Lionsgate Play from 22 December.
