“DELIVERANCE” meets “ROSEMARY’S BABY” — The Dark Mile is a psychological thriller built around a strong central relationship of two very different yet sympathetic characters.
A tense psychological horror-thriller, The Dark Mile blends The Wicker Man, Deliverance and Duel, then comes up with a film rich in atmosphere and tension. London couple Louise and Clare (Rebecca Calder and Deirdre Mullins) book a sailing trip in the Highlands to recover from a personal tragedy. The location
may be idyllic but soon they are tormented by a black industrial barge that
follows them, and by the dysfunctional folk on board… Hints of the occult and
paganism point to dark times ahead as tension mounts.
