Written and directed by Arish Sirkissoon, The Castle stars Sirkissoon and Rio Notra Segal as newlyweds forced to spend
the night in a creepy old castle when their car breaks down in the middle
of nowhere.
"It’s always been important to me to write deep psychological thrillers
that are borderline horror," says Sirkissoon. "In my personal view there is nothing better than a great feature with a
worthy twist. I wrote this film with many ideas in mind and it came
together beautifully in one swift stroke. I know audiences are going to
appreciate the attention to detail I have put into this film both on paper
and on the screen. This is my directorial debut so I always wanted
something special and I think I have achieved this in many forms. The
movie itself is a play on frameworks that lead to an intriguing crescendo
that leaves you wanting more."
The Castle is on VOD worldwide from November 11th.
