Starburst

A mesmerisingly fractured tale of vengeance, grief and disintegrating lives, Derelict is a compelling character driven British crime thriller from filmmaker Jonathan Zaurin (Blood Tales, Gore Grind).

Featuring powerhouse performances from Suzanne Fulton (MUM SAID, Goodwin Island), Michael Coombes (Blood Tales, Wyvern Hill), Pete Bird (Wyvern Hill), Ayvianna Snow (How to Kill Monsters, Bogieville) and Nick Cornwall (How to Train Your Dragon, Devils), Derelict explores the aftermath of a gruelling murder and the intersection of two lives who are forever scarred by the events.

Through fragmented timelines carefully woven together and a striking blend of black and white and colour cinematography, the film captures a world where justice, memory and morality blur into one. This gritty, award-winning drama garnered extensive acclaim from critics and audiences alike on its premiere at FrightFest and now is set to arrive on Blu-ray and digital this September. The Blu-ray release via 101 Films features a slew of special features and a stunning reversible sleeve, please see full details below.

Abigail (Fulton), a young woman consumed by the brutal murder of her father, spirals into a world of seclusion, obsession and revenge. 10 years have passed since her father’s death, and she is hellbent on punishing those who have caused her immense pain.

Through a compelling non-liner structure, Abigail’s world collides with Matt’s (Coombes), a young man whose already turbulent life is upended by the return of his estranged brother, Ewan (Bird), from prison. Matt’s sensitive nature contrasts that of his intimidating criminal brother, who pulls Matt into the dangerous and toxic world he inhabits.

Morals will be questioned and sympathies tested in this powerful and complex exploration of loss, upheaval, revenge and isolation.

Groundbreaking, bold, unconventional, Derelict is a gradual descent into the emotional wreckage left behind by violence and raises the question: is closure ever truly possible?
