CARA SET FOR DIGITAL RELEASE FOLLOWING ITS WORLD PREMIERE AT FRIGHTFEST 2024

Receiving its World Premiere in the Discovery strand at this year's FrightFest on the 25th August, writer-director Hayden Hewitt’s jaw-dropping debut feature CARA has now been announced as a digital release from Reel 2 Reel.

Described as a gore-filled psychological horror Elle O'Hara (Memories of Another, When Darkness Falls) delivers a chilling performance as the eponymous Cara – a young woman determined to avoid being sent back to the psychiatric hospital where she suffered horrific abuse – no matter what it takes. 

Cara's world is spiralling out of control. Haunted by her traumatic past, she lives with a mentally unstable roommate and struggles with a failed career as an online sex worker. Her father is unable to communicate, while her well-meaning mother offers little support. But above all, Cara is consumed by a terrifying belief that there’s a conspiracy to send her back to the harrowing institution. 

She devises a desperate and disturbing plan to ensure that she will never be forced to return to Sunnyside Hospital. With the help of a submissive client, she sets the wheels in motion—unleashing shockingly brutal consequences.

Cara will never go back... whatever the cost!

This blood-curdling horror also stars James Dreyfuss (House of the Dragon, Notting Hill), Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede 2, Mannequin) Michaela Longden (Book of Monsters, Coronation Street), Julie Hannan (Supernova, Shetland) and Johnny Vivash (Contact, Walking Against the Rain).
