Michael Pearce : 2017

Living in an isolated community, a troubled young woman finds herself pulled between the control of her oppressive family and the allure of a secretive outsider suspected of a series of brutal murders. Yearning to escape from her stifling home life, Moll, the black sheep of an upper-crust family on the island of Jersey, impulsively moves in with Pascal, a rugged hunter with a mysterious past. When a local girl goes missing following a string of murders, Moll must decide what to trust: her own instincts, or the mysterious man with whom she has made a home. A riveting, slow-burning thriller about the limits of love and the darkness inside us. Michael Pearce's feature debut premiered in the Platform section at Toronto International Film Festival 2017, and had its UK premiere at London Film Festival 2017.
