The found-footage horror film The Darkest Dawn stars Bethan Leadley, Cherry Wallis, and Stuart Ashen, and is set to be released on 30 October.
Directed and written by Drew Casson, The Darkest Dawn: Hungerford 2 will also feature Jamie Paul, Mawaan Rizwan, and Paul Neafcy.
The Darkest Dawn was produced by Wildseed Studios, the company behind both Phillip Human and Supercreep.
Wildseed Studios also produced Hungerford, the first in the film series, in which “the lives of a group of teenagers are turned upside down when their town is taken over by sinister forces”. The sequel introduces a new set of characters, now intertwined in the aftermath.
Bethan, Cherry, and Drew introduced the film along with the teaser trailer at Summer in the City 2016. Find out what the audience thought about it (click here for photos):
