The post Here’s the Scary Trailer For the Singapore Horror Hit Repossession – North American Digital Release December 1st appeared first on We Are Movie Geeks.

Exclusive: Freestyle Digital Media has acquired U.S. rights to Kyle Thomas’ drama Range Roads, along with North American rights to Dylan Reid’s semi-autobiographical film, By the Grace of…The digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group/Entertainment Studios will release the former title written and directed by Thomas across internet, cable and satellite platforms on December 14, unveiling the latter written and directed by Reid across the same range of platforms on December 21.

Range Roads tells the story of Frankie King (Alana Hawley Purvis), a television actor who has been estranged from her family for 20 years, returning to her hometown in rural Canada after her parents are killed in a sudden car accident. As she struggles to reconnect with her truculent brother Grayson (Joe Perry), old wounds are reopened and family secrets uncovered. Thomas and Sara Corry produced the pic, which also stars Chad Brownlee and Nicole de Boer.

“Repossession“, co-director/writers Goh Ming Siu and Scott C. Hillyard’s subtle, topical story of one man’s inexorable psychological collapse at the hands of market forces, will screen at six film festivals during the close of this Northern Hemisphere summer into fall, commencing with its Southern California premiere at the prestigious Dances With Films festival, unspooling August 28 and 31 online in Los Angeles, and concluding (for now) its Fall festival run October 23 at the Chicago Southland International Film Festival.

While the film sits astride psychotronic genres, its real horror, according to Singapore’s Sinema News, “…ironically – mainly comes in the form of the societal realities of cut-throat Singapore.” On this Covid-19 tainted planet, “Repossession”‘s characters’ surprisingly swift downward journeys could mirror that of many others’ worldwide.

In “Repossession,” 50-year-old Jim loses his high-flying job in status-conscious Singapore, but his ego and pride compel him to hide this from his wife and daughter.
