British Indie Thriller Derelict Heading to Pigeon Shrine FrightFest

In just over 5 weeks time 25th anniversary of Pigeon Shrine FrightFest will take place. Jonathan Zaurin‘ Derelict is one of those films part of next month’s fest.

The British indie thriller will make it’s world premiere at the festival. Derelict stars Cold Feet actor Suzanne Fulton as Abigail, who is a daughter seeking revenge which led to her father’s murder.

The film is soaked in the tradition of the British film noir, a series of unusual characters are thrown into situations that will have repercussions beyond their imagination. Think Shane Meadows, Ben Wheatley even Mike Hodges you get a sense of the direction of this film. Slow burning, gritty and very bleak!
