The film screened at both the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals this year. IFC hasn’t announced a release date yet.
Jonathan Sehring, President of Sundance Selects/IFC Films, stated in the press release: “We are thrilled to be in business with Mary Harron who has made a very entertaining gothic tale that delivers chills while also managing to get at the heart of teenage relationships. We look forward to working with her and her entire team behind the film.”
Said Harron: “I am delighted to be working with IFC, who have such a wonderful track record and have released so many of my favorite films of the last few years.”
The Plot:
Adolescence is and always will be a time of intense emotional confusion, especially if you spend it in a closed environment. That’s the case with Rebecca (Bolger), a young girl haunted by her father’s suicide, who is a student at an exclusive female boarding school. She pours her heart out in a diary, much of it focused on Lucy, her beloved roommate. Their relationship changes drastically with the arrival of a mysterious new student, Ernessa (Cole). As Lucy abandons her for this new girl, Rebecca becomes consumed with thoughts of jealousy and suspicion–Ernessa is dangerous, evil, a vampire. Is there any truth to all this or is Rebecca slipping into insanity?
