Jeva Films and 4 8 Fourteen Films are excited to reveal the first teaser and poster for their upcoming thriller, 7 Keys. Officially selected for this year’s Pigeon Shrine FrightFest and featured in the ‘First Blood’ strand, the film will make its UK Premiere on August 24th at the iconic horror festival.
The film follows single mother Lena, who, after being stood up on a date, meets Daniel, a lost soul with whom she feels an immediate connection. Daniel possesses the keys to every place he’s ever lived, and Lena, eager to escape her troubles, joins him on a whirlwind tour of London. As they explore various homes, their connection deepens, but dark secrets start to surface. Will they survive the weekend and unlock the seventh key?
“I’m thrilled that 7 KEYS will have its UK Premiere at Frightfest. I’m a huge fan of the festival and found a lot of inspiration there, so to have my feature debut in its First Blood strand is beyond my wildest dreams – and my dreams can get pretty wild, as the film proves! I can’t wait to watch it with the Frightfest crowd, especially in this extra special 25th anniversary year.”
