Jennifer Sheridan's moody feature debut receives its premiere at the BFI London Film Festival.
Editor Jennifer Sheridan's directorial debut Rose: A Love Story is the latest movie to infuse horror elements (in this case vampirism) into British social realist cinema. Sophie Rundle and Matt Stokoe play Rose and Sam, a young couple living an isolated existence in the woods. When an uninvited guest arrives, Rose's previously quashed bloodlust begins to rise to the surface.
Rose: A Love Story will be celebrating its World Premiere on 13th October at the 2020 London Film Festival. Book your tickets here!
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Sam (Matt Stokoe) and Rose (Sophie Rundle) live a quiet life. Hunkered down in their remote woodland farmhouse, they spend their days far from the prying eyes of the outside world. Rose uses the peace and quiet to work on her novel, while Sam sets traps, hunts animals and goes to work fortifying the hidden cottage they call home. In another life, their world would seem idyllic; but Rose’s mystery illness has clouded any sense of normality that the couple may achieve.
When a trip to collect supplies goes awry, Sam and Rose are thrown into a terrifying series of events that soon herald the arrival of a mysterious stranger. The little life that the couple have forged for themselves is now more fragile than ever.
