Video Interview: Director Andrew Cumming Discusses Authentically Bringing the Stone Age to Life for New Movie OUT OF DARKNESS

Set in the Stone Age, the new horror film Out of Darkness follows a group of world-weary survivors seeking asylum in a new land, only to encounter something deadly stalking them in the shadows just outside the flickering flames of their fire.

With Out of Darkness now playing in theaters via Bleecker Street, Daily Dead had the great pleasure of catching up with director Andrew Cumming to discuss the making of his ambitious new horror movie, including filming in the secluded Scottish Highlands, utilizing a new language created just for the film, and bringing the Stone Age to life as authentically as possible.

Synopsis: A small boat reaches the shores of a raw and desolate landscape. A group of six have struggled across the narrow sea to find a new home. They are starving, desperate, and living 45,000 years ago. First they must find shelter, and they strike out across the tundra wastes towards the distant mountains that promise the abundant caves they need to survive. But when night falls, anticipation turns to fear and doubt as they realize they are not alone. Terrifying sounds suggest something monstrous at large in this landscape, something that could kill or steal them away. As relationships in the group fracture, the determination of one young woman reveals the terrible actions taken to survive.
