As a special treat for fans, Epic Pictures Group has given us an exclusive clip from “Double Blind.” The clip promises a riveting glimpse into the suspenseful and innovative narrative that awaits audiences.
Epic Pictures Group, a prominent Hollywood-based content studio, is gearing up for the North American release of the much-anticipated sci-fi thriller, “Double Blind.” Directed by award-winning Irish filmmaker Ian Hunt-Duffy, the film is set to hit select theaters on February 9, 2024, followed by a digital platform release on February 13, 2024.
The stellar cast of “Double Blind” features Millie Brady (known for her roles in “Roadkill,” “The Queen’s Gambit,” and “The Last Kingdom”), Pollyanna McIntosh (“Vikings: Valhalla,” “The Walking Dead”), Diarmuid Noyes (“Blood”), Akshay Kumar (“Count Abdulla”), Brenock O’Connor (“Game of Thrones”), Abby Fitz (“The Cellar”), Shonagh Marie (“Britannia”), and Frank Blake (“Cherry”). The screenplay, crafted by Darach McGarrigle, comes to life under the production expertise of Simon James Doyle, with Patrick O’ Neill, Emma Scott, Dearbhla Reagan, Katie Page, and Patrick Ewald serving as Executive Producers.
The film unfolds in Limerick, Ireland, where an experimental drug trial takes a chilling turn. Seven young test subjects must grapple with the horrifying side effect of the drug – falling asleep equals death. Trapped in an isolated medical facility, they face a race against time to escape while desperately trying to stay awake.
Director Ian Hunt-Duffy expresses his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “As a director, I am deeply passionate about creating high-concept and suspenseful genre films, and I believe that the hook of our story — if you fall asleep, you die — is really evocative and exciting. We have a fantastic ensemble cast led by Millie Brady and horror icon Pollyanna McIntosh, so I cannot wait for audiences to experience the tension, disorientation, and dread of ‘Double Blind.'”
Patrick Ewald, CEO and Executive Producer of Epic Pictures Group, shares his excitement, saying, “The visual and story presentation of ‘Double Blind’ at the Frontières Market blew me away. It combined the perfect balance of sci-fi and horror in a medical lab. Several years later, Ian and Simon delivered a gripping and entertaining movie that far exceeded anyone’s expectations. I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished together and can’t wait for audiences to experience that terror and suspense that awaits them in this SQUID GAME-style thriller.”
