A family’s outing descends into terror when teacher Alan Hoaganraad, his wife Jill and stepsons Maika and Jordon explore an isolated coastline. An unexpected meeting with a pair of drifters – the enigmatic psychopath Mandrake and his accomplice Tubs – thrusts the family into a nightmare after the duo kidnaps them and embarks on a road trip to hell.

“WORKING WITH STRONG ACTORS CAPABLE OF WALKING THE KNIFE EDGE BETWEEN FEAR AND MORAL REVULSION, SADISM AND BARELY STIFLED RAGE, ASHCROFT AND EDITOR ANNIE COLLINS MAXIMIZE THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MURK HIDDEN BETWEEN THE LINES, DOING A REMARKABLE JOB OF SUSTAINING EXTREME TENSION. “
– THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“SOMETIMES, A FILM IS SO INTENSE THAT EVEN THE FESTIVAL PROGRAMMERS WARN THE AUDIENCE ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE ABOUT TO WATCH. COMING HOME IN THE DARK IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.”
