Children of a Darker Dawn (formerly titled Railway Children) is set for DVD and Digital release in North America on December 17th. The movie is a teen Sci-Fi/Horror movie from October Eleven Pictures.
The producers claim Children of a Darker Dawn as “the first of an edgy series of features exploring the darkest corners of the Emerald Isle.”
The film was written, produced and directed by Irish Film and Television Award nominated director Jason Figgis. Among October Eleven Pictures’ earlier films, Figgis’s acclaimed occult documentary The Twilight Hour was sold for broadcast by Pop Twist Entertainment in 100 territories worldwide, and aired as part of an acclaimed art series on RTÉ Network 2 in Ireland.
In Children of a Darker Dawn, a virus has decimated the adult population, driving parents insane and then into death. Small children and teens are left to watch the horror unfold, and then to fend for themselves. Sisters Evie (Catherine Wrigglesworth) and Fran (Emily Forster) travel from town to town, foraging for food and carrying memories of their mother (Jennifer Graham).
Finding overnight shelter in a derelict building, they are awoken by shouts… and a battle between the newcomers and a teen commune with a dark past of its own begins. The tense atmosphere explodes into violence and bloodshed. Teen romances, sexual jealousies, and sadistic cliques inflame a grisly struggle for food. It’s the road to a grim new civilization.
Pop Twist is looking for international release partners.
