Indomina Releasing Will Likely be the ‘Outcast’

It appears that there isn’t week that goes by where Indomina Releasing isn’t adding one more title to their 2011 slate. After signing up their first Euro horror title The Pack, (this was literally hours ago), they’ve now added their second — from a nation not commonly known for the genre. Colm McCarthy, who was a television director by trade, saw his Scottish import debut play at this year’s SXSW, and from there Outcast, would go onto travel the fantasy fest circuit.

It appears that there isn’t week that goes by where Indomina Releasing isn’t adding one more title to their 2011 slate. After signing up their first Euro horror title The Pack, (this was literally hours ago), they’ve now added their second — from a nation not commonly known for the genre. Colm McCarthy, who was a television director by trade, saw his Scottish import debut play at this year’s SXSW, and from there Outcast, would go onto travel the fantasy fest circuit. We’ll be seeing this in 2011.

Gist: Starring Bloody Sunday‘s James Nesbitt and Red Road‘s Kate Dickie, when Mary (Dickie) and her teenage son, Fergal (Niall Bruton), move to yet another new home, it soon becomes clear that they live their lives on the run, hiding from someone or something, terrified of being found. Trying to avoid making new friends or connections wherever they go, Fergal finds himself caught between the affections of his beautiful and feisty neighbour and his fiercely protective mother who will stop at nothing to protect her precious son. In enters Nesbitt’s “hunter” character.

Worth Noting: Helmer Colm McCarthy and James Nesbitt might be strong working team, as the two paired on television’s Murphy’s Law

Do We Care?: I wouldn’t considered this Indomina Releasing’s most appetizing title. Creature horror films usually bite due to their lack of ingenuity and this Scottish film bares too close of a resemblance to the Let Me In/Let the Right One kind.
