WRITERS RETREAT is a horror film written by Jeremy Sheldon
C.M. Taylor set on fictional Kilton Island where strangers come together to develop their writing. Mark Twain famously said Write what you know. But how far would you go to find material for the ultimate bestseller At a writer's retreat on an isolated island, novelist Zandra finds herself amongst a group of strangers confronting their darkest secrets as they write. When a member of the party mysteriously disappears, Zandra fears there is a more sinister presence trapped on the island with them. WRITERS RETREAT is filmed in a classic British Hammer Horror style using the strange features of its location to create a hauntingly terrifying film with atmosphere and menace. The script delves deep into human emotions and honesty, causing the characters to ask questions about themselves that they didn't know they had and question the audience as to whether things are quite what they seem.
电影改编自真实事件。故事发生在挪威一座名为巴斯特瑞的小岛上,那里关押着许多年轻的犯人,他们的年龄最小的只有11岁,最大的也不过18岁。每一天,在这个封闭而又压抑的环境中,孩子们被迫做着超负荷的工作,因为只有这样,他们才能得到仅够果腹的食物。在这里,对犯人们的打骂是家常便饭,又是只因一个小小的失误,有时甚至连原因都没有。在这样糟糕的环境下,犯人们被驯化了,没有人想到反抗。 十七岁的厄令(本杰明·赫尔斯塔德 Benjamin Helstad 饰)刚刚抵达这座恶魔之岛,这里是他服刑的地方。岛上的残酷的生活让厄令感到绝望,当狱卒的压迫突破了临界点酿成悲剧之时,正是厄令带领着他的同伴们展开了暴力抵抗。就当厄令夺取了岛屿的统治权之时,挪威政府向岛上派出的150人的军队正在急速接近。
In this family saga, Mrs. Parkington recounts the story of her life, beginning as a hotel maid in frontier Nevada where she is swept off her feet by mine owner and financier Augustus Parkington. He moves them to New York, tries to remake her into a society woman, and establishes their home among the wealthiest of New York's high society. Family and social life is not always peaceful, however, and she guides us, in flashbacks, through the rises and falls of the Parkington family fortunes.
