A hit with US critics who caught it on the festival circuit, writer/director Mickey Reece's Climate of the Hunter is a stylish spin on the vampire mythos. The film sees two sisters - Alma (Ginger Gilmartin) and Elizabeth (Mary Buss) - arrive at the remote home of their old acquaintance Wesley (Ben Hall). Over a reunion dinner, Wesley's true nature begins to reveal itself.
Climate of the Hunter is in US cinemas from December 18th and on VOD from January 12th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Two sisters, Alma and Elizabeth, along with a dog who’s described as a “philosopher,” have come to Alma’s remote house to reconnect with Wesley after twenty years. Alma is recently divorced, Elizabeth is a workaholic in Washington, D.C., while Wesley lives in Paris dealing with a wife recently struck with a fatal disease. When the three come together for dinner it has all the makings of a lovely adult melodrama about loneliness, and the desire to connect and share our lives with someone… but we must add to the mix one otherworldly piece of information: Wesley could be a vampire.
