Yahoo Lifestyle Horror Film ‘As Night Falls,’ Starring Jack Parr and Sophia Eleni, Greenlit (EXCLUSIVE)
Nocturnal Pictures has greenlit horror feature film “As Night Falls,” with production slated to begin this month in Kent, England. The film is “A Quiet Place” meets “It Follows,” according to the producers.
“As Night Falls” is written and directed by Leroy Kincaide, whose credits include exorcist horror film “The Last Rite,” starring Bethan Waller and Johnny Fleming. Samuel Goldwyn Films acquired the U.S. rights to “The Last Rite” in 2021 and the film is currently streaming on Hulu.
“As Night Falls” stars Jack Parr, whose credits include “Take Cover” and “The Last Breath,” and Sophia Eleni, who has appeared in “Call the Midwife” and “Walking Against the Rain.”
The synopsis is as follows: “In the dead of day or night, a dark entity attracted to sound lurks in the shadows, as it hunts the last remaining survivors of a small town trapped in an industrial estate.”
“This film will unearth primal fears and confront the dark spaces we instinctively avoid,” Kincaide said. “It’s a story that thrives on atmosphere and the unknown, showcasing the very best of U.K. talent and supernatural storytelling.”
Supporting cast featured are Aaron-Jon North (“The Nun II,” “The Burning Girls”), Fran McAteer, Dale Hayes, David Sayers, Oliver Smiles and Millie-Sue Hayward.
The producers are Kincaide and Chloe Chudasama.
“As Night Falls” will debut in the fall 2025.
Kincaide was a professional wrestler before entering the film industry. He founded Nocturnal Pictures in 2014 and has written and directed several short films and music videos. “The Last Rite” was his directorial debut feature film.
