Writer and director Ciaran Foy’s new Irish horror flick ‘Citadel’ has begun shooting. The Blinder Films production, which will be filming in Glasgow, Scotland stars Aneurin Barnard (currently shooting on new Brit horror ‘Guinea Pigs’), James Cosmo (‘Trainspotting’, ‘The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising’), Wunmi Mosuka and Amy Shiels – below (‘Slaughter’). Check out the full synopsis for ‘Citadel’ below.
“Citadel is a story about pure terror. Packs of twisted feral children prowl the dark urban landscape of Edenstown, the council estate from Hell. Concealed beneath hooded tops, they attack innocent adults with septic syringes to harvest their blood and abduct small children to swell their ranks. Abandoned by the police, the small community that remains is plagued by the brutal and rampant gangs that few truly understand. Emerging at night, they are especially drawn to anyone showing fear – in fact they can see it and sense it. When Tommy¹s pregnant wife Joanne is viciously attacked, it turns his world upside down. Joanne is left in a coma. As a result of the trauma, Tommy suffers crippling agoraphobia rendering him housebound and barely able to look after their infant daughter Elsa. Trapped in Edenstown, Tommy desperately needs to leave. Before he can escape however, Tommy’s worst nightmare comes true – Elsa is kidnapped. To save his daughter, he is forced to trust a vigilante priest who understands the horrific truth about the gangs. Tommy must now face the demons of his past by entering the one place that he fears the most – an abandoned tower block called the Citadel.”
