Described
by Rue-Morgue.com as a film that “beautifully blends supernatural horror with
the terrors of the real world,” SILENT RETREAT is already being noticed by
critics. The National Post stated that SILENT RETREAT is a “chilling little
number from Canadian director Tricia Lee” while Ain’t It Cool News heralded the
film as “a tense little beast of a movie that has some powerfully terrifying
moments interspersed with some even more impactful silences."
The
SILENT RETREAT DVD will include a behind the scenes featurette, director and
writer commentary, and trailers for the film.
Synopsis:
Following
an assault charge, Janey Andrews (Chelsea Jenish) is sent to a remote
rehabilitation centre in order to avoid jail time. Run by an ominous doctor
(Robert Nolan) and his two sons, Janey is instructed to follow the rules of the
retreat without question: No talking. No eye contact. No interaction of any
kind. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that something sinister is taking
place and with the help of a fellow inmate named Alexis (Sofia Banzhaf), the
girls attempt to flee. However, despite the doctor’s deplorable motives, Janey
soon discovers that something much more dangerous lurks just beyond the trees.
