After a triumphant festival circuit that began with a sold-out world premiere at FrightFest, Scott Lyus’s debut feature film Walking Against the Rain is finally making its way to digital platforms in the UK and Europe this summer. The film has garnered significant acclaim, winning Best Overall Film at the Nightmares Film Festival and making notable appearances at PanicFest in the US and the Trieste Science+Fiction Film Festival in Italy.

Their only means of communication are two rapidly depleting battery-operated radio mics, and they are relentlessly pursued by a terrifying new monster known as ‘The Forsaken’. As they journey through this unforgiving terrain, they must confront their own losses...
