The Spine-Chilling Horror-Film: The Unfamiliar” is Out Now

British horror film: THE UNFAMILIAR, directed by Henk Pretorius, has just been released digitally in North America by VERTICAL ENTERTAINMENT.

THE UNFAMILIAR tells the story of a British Army doctor (Jemima West) who comes back from war, thinking she has PTSD, only to discover that there are malevolent spirits present at home, making the life that she knew unfamiliar.

Critiques have hailed THE UNFAMILIAR for its uniquely twisted plot, the building of tension throughout the film and stellar performances.

“The Unfamiliar is a masterclass in tension building. From formatting to sound design to scene-stealing, off kilter kids, this movie knows how to keep us off balance.” – Katelyn Nelson, Killer Horror Critic

“Fans of the genre can expect a ‘uniquely twisted’ viewing experience.” – Jacob Stolworthy, The Independent

“With solid acting performances, a delightfully twisty narrative, and exquisite use of practical effects, “The Unfamiliar” is a can’t-miss.” – Moe Long, Cup Of Moe

“Legitimate scares coupled with unique ideas and great acting, especially from Jemima West, makes for recommended viewing when it comes to The Unfamiliar.” – Jeremie Sabourin, Cinema Smack

“A unique perspective on how PTSD impacts families.” – Lauren Anderson, Showbiz CheatSheet

“The thing I like most about The Unfamiliar is that it plays with the themes of being a foreigner in your own family.” – Mark L. Miller, MLMillerWrites

THE UNFAMILIAR is now available to watch on leading digital platforms in the United States and will digitally release on 11 September through Lionsgate UK in the United Kingdom.
