The directorial debut of Illya Konstantin, Night of Violence sees a pharmaceutical company's night of celebration take a bloody turn when their office tower comes under assault from masked locals.
The film stars Gigi Gustin, Russ Russo, Kit Lang and Caitlin Borek.
"This is my debut feature, and I didn’t want to play it safe," says Konstantin. "We shot fast, with heart, and with an incredible team of actors and crew who gave everything. It's scrappy, angry, satirical, and violent but underneath all the madness is a question we're still asking: What's the price of survival in a world driven by profit? I've always believed horror is one of the last great frontiers for fearless storytelling. If Night of Violence punches you in the gut and maybe makes you laugh nervously while it does, then we've done our job. We're proud of this one."
Night of Violence makes it world premiere at FrightFest on August 21st.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Following a major legal victory and the launch of their controversial drug Azlepta, a corporation’s celebration is cut short when masked townspeople posing as caterers launch a brutal attack. Trapped inside their office tower, a handful of employees scramble to survive as they’re hunted down one by one in a relentless, coordinated assault. With no escape and nowhere safe, the survivors are forced to fight back and turn the tables in a desperate bid to make it through the night of violence.
