Adopting a found footage "mockumentary" approach is Markian Tarasiuk for his directorial debut Hunting Matthew Nichols. The film stars Miranda MacDougall as Tara, an aspiring documentarian who builds a film around her investigation into the two-decades old disappearance of her brother.
Steven Soderbergh has called the film "A sneaky, simmering take on the true crime folk horror genre that boils over and becomes truly unnerving."
Hunting Matthew Nichols is in North American cinemas from April 10th. A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
Two decades after her brother's mysterious disappearance on Vancouver Island, aspiring documentary filmmaker, Tara Nichols, sets out to solve his missing person's case. When an unsettling piece of evidence is revealed, Tara and her film crew investigate the disturbing circumstances surrounding the case to discover the truth about what happened to her brother.
