Dark Sky Acquires ‘Let Us Prey’
26 Sep 2014 : Deirdre Molumby
MPI Media Group’s Dark Sky Films banner has acquired the U.S. rights to ‘Let Us Prey’, an Irish horror feature from Brian O’Malley. The film has already been screened at, among others, the Edinburgh Film Festival, the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, at which it won Best European Fantastic Film, and the18th Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival, where it received its Asian premiere. It sold-out its North American premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival at which it received positive reviews.

O’Malley’s feature debut is about an enigmatic stranger (played by ‘Game Of Thrones’ star Liam Cunningham) who is detained overnight in a small town police station. His dark influence takes over the minds of the inmates and officers around him. Dark Sky is plotting a spring 2015 release for the film.

Post-production on the film was completed at Dublin’s Windmill Lane and it was edited by Tony Kearns (‘Kelly + Victor’). Availing of Ireland’s Section 481, production was split between Ireland and Scotland.

‘Let Us Prey’ also stars Pollyanna McIntosh (‘The Woman’, ‘Love Eternal’), Hanna Stanbridge (‘Outcast’), and Bryan Larkin (‘Outlander’) and was co-written by David Cairns and Fiona Watson. The film is a co-production between Fantastic Films, Greenhouse Media Investment in association with Mr. Significant Film, the Irish Film Board, and Makar Productions. Eddie Dick, Brendan McCarthy, and John McDonnell are producers.

“Director Brian O’Malley instantly proves that he is a new director to watch,” said MPI’s Greg Newman. “Solid performances from fan favorites Pollyanna McIntosh and Liam Cunningham should cement ‘Let Us Prey’ as a worthy entry in the exciting new wave of Irish horror.”

MPI/Dark Sky Films also produced Irish horror ‘Cherry Tree’, which was filmed in Cork and directed by David Keating. The feature was also produced in partnership with Fantastic Films and the Irish Film Board. Dark Sky Films’ recent productions include ‘Starry Eyes’, ‘Late Phases’ and the upcoming ‘We Are Still Here.’ Fantastic Films also backed the award-winning documentary ‘The Summit’ and cult horror ‘Stitches’.
