When psychotic minds and supernatural forces entangle, horrors are unleashed in writer-director-producer Mary Gallagher’s film Holistay.
Starring Gavin O’Fearraigh of TG4 soap Ros na Rún, Holistay follows two couples – Finn and Branna from Ireland and Tony and Gia from New York. They do not know each other until they double-book a vacation house in San Diego. Unable to reach the owners, the couples decide to all stay at the home since decent lodging is scarce that weekend. They all get along, although one pair harbors a dark secret.
The very next day, strange events begin to unfold. Finn and Tony see a strange hooded figure lurking around the house. Branna finds her suitcase toppled over when no one is home, while Tony hears wailing and screeching at night, although seeing no one. The two couples must face a looming doom that shadows them, culminating on one horrific night.
In addition to O’Fearraigh, Scottish actress Erin Gavin, character actor Steven Martini, and Brazilian actress and model Gabriela Kulaif also star.
“I am honored to be chosen by Breaking Glass Pictures for worldwide distribution and be able to present my work on the global stage,” said Mary Gallagher, who makes her directing debut on the film. “It is important for women film makers to be able to successfully tap into the horror and thriller genre and create a larger presence in this medium.”
“Writer, director Mary Gallagher’s house sharing horror thriller does not disappoint and will make audiences anticipate the sequel” said Rich Wolff, CEO.
Holistay is out now on Digital.
