With the possible exception of Matlida, psychic children are never a good thing. The latest proof comes in the form of Marina de Van’s Dark Touch, starring Missy Keating as a telekinetic child, traumatized by the death of her family, and embarking a terrible journey into monstrousness unless the adults taking care of her can help assuage her psychological damage in time. Somehow, we think they won’t succeed, if this creepy trailer from the director of In My Skin is any indication.
Dark Touch opens in theaters and on VOD, iTunes and SundanceNow on September 27, 2013. Check out this CraveOnline Exclusive trailer premiere for your first look, and the debut of IFC Midnight’s brand new logo.
From the Synopsis:
At night, an isolated house deep in the countryside takes on a monstrous life of its own.
Objects and furniture run riot against the inhabitants, leaving 11-year-old Neve the only survivor of a bloody massacre that destroys the bodies of her parents and culminates in the death of her little brother, Ciaran.
Suspecting a gang of homicidal vandals, the police ignore Neve when she tries to tell them about the murderous rage of the house. She is taken in by friends of her parents who, with the help of a local social worker, try to ease her trauma by surrounding her with love and rebuilding the semblance of a normal life. But Neve doesn’t find peace. Far from it…
All around her, signs of danger continue to manifest, and her surroundings remain imbued with a lurking violence that soon unleashes itself again, erupting into further slaughter and claiming more victims.
