“Everyone – stay awake, whatever you do! Don’t even close your eyes…!” Epic Pictures has revealed the trailer for an indie horror film titled Double Blind, which is a reference to the drug test study concept of even keeping the researchers in the dark. This first premiered at last year’s Neuchâtel Fantastic Film Fest, then it also stopped by the FilmQuest Fest in the US. After an experimental drug trial goes awry, the test subjects face a terrifying side effect: if you fall asleep you die. Trapped in an isolated facility, panic ensues as they try to escape and somehow stay awake. Fighting off sleep, and each other, to stay alive. Starring Millie Brady, Pollyanna McIntosh, Kate Ashfield, Diarmuid Noyes, Akshay Kumar, and Brenock O’Connor. Set for release in February if anyone is interested in finding out who makes it out alive… This looks intense, not sure why they’re attacking each other. Or why she’s floating like that at the end of it. Huh.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Ian Hunt-Duffy’s Double Blind, direct from YouTube:
Seven young people partake in trials for a new type of drug. What should have been a routine medical study turns sour when the test subjects become unable to fall asleep for 4 days. And when finally they do, a horrible death awaits them. Stuck in the lab, the Guinea pigs must fight off sleep and save themselves. Double Blind is directed by Irish indie filmmaker Ian Hunt-Duffy, making his feature directorial debut after a few other short films previously. The screenplay is written by Darach McGarrigle. Produced by Simon Doyle. This initially premiered at the 2023 Neuchâtel Fantastic Film Festival in Switzerland last year, and is also set to open in cinemas in Ireland in February as well. Epic Pictures will debut Doubt Blind in select US theaters on February 9th, 2024, then on VOD starting February 13th coming soon. Anyone interested?
