Award-winning Toronto-based director, TRICIA LEE,
brings her scary creature feature SILENT RETREAT
to this year's Toronto After Dark Film Fest,
where it screens Sunday Oct. 20 at the Scotiabank Theatre (4:15pm).
Silent Retreat is a creature feature
that tells the story of Janey Andrews, a first time criminal
offender, who is sent to a facility in the middle of the woods to be
rehabilitated. The men who run the retreat ask for complete silence from the
inmates but Janey soon discovers they are brainwashing the women to be quiet
and submissive. When the women don’t comply, the men aren’t afraid to show them
what lurks beyond the trees and Janey realizes that the only way to survive the
horror is to scream!
Toronto After Dark has proven to be one of the
world’s most exciting and cutting edge genre festivals since its debut in 2006
and Tricia brings a much-needed female perspective on the horror genre.
