Dogged: Having or showing the attitude of a person who
wants to do or get something and will not stop
trying : stubborn and determined
Dogged, a modern folk horror film and Richard Rowntree’s feature directorial debut, delves into our primal fears of what might be lurking woods. Co-written by Rowntree and Matthew Davies, the feature is based on their 2015 award-winning short film by the same name.
In the film, after ten year old Megan Lancaster meets a grizzly and untimely end, Sam is forced to return to the remote tidal island where he grew up to attend the funeral.
A testing relationship with his disconnected parents, a reunion with his estranged girlfriend Rachel, and a cryptic message from the island’s doctor force Sam to investigate the events leading up to Megan’s tragic death. The truth is far more shocking and unbelievable than Sam wants to acknowledge, and his life begins to spiral out of control in a macabre descent of paranoia. Sam must race against tide and time to expose the seedy underbelly of the island – and to save the lives of those he loves.”
Sam Saunders, Debra Leigh-Taylor, Tony Manders, Rosemary Smith, Philip Ridout, Ashton Bell, Jo Southwell, Abigail Jebali, Gregory A. Smith, Abigail Rylance-Sneddon, and Toby Wynn-Davies star in this dark, suspenseful indie film whose trailer has just arrived.
