When it comes to a dream and fulfilling it nothing will stand in your dream, when best friends Derek & Lee takes an unexpected turn, watch the trailer for The Afflicted.
A winner at Fantastic Fest Toronto last summer Afflicted is the feature film directorial debut for Derek Lee and Clif Prowse who are also the film's lead actors. The pair play best friends who embark on a year long trip around the world in which they plan to document every day however one of the pair becomes afflicted when he meets a mysterious beautiful woman in Paris.
Afflicted boasts a slightly different twist on the found footage sub-genre and last Friday (28th Feb) We where at the film's UK premiere at Film4 Glagow Frightfest. From the screening there is elements of Chronicle when one of the character gets crazy powers but there is also a first person perspective with hints of humour. Does it deliver anything new to the tired sub-genre, Ill leave that one for you to decide.
There's no word on a UK release but it's expected to get an DVD release sometime this year, Afflicted will be released in USA on limited release 4th April.
