Here’s the synopsis:
The Radleys are an ordinary family who hold a dark secret… they are abstaining vampires. As if being a teenager wasn’t bad enough, bloodthirsty instincts take over the teens of the family revealing the terrifying truth and opening the door for an extended family member to re-enter and upend The Radleys’ once perfect slice of suburbia.
The Radleys also stars Harry Baxendale (Shadow and Bone) as Rowan, with Bo Bragason (Renegade Nell, The Jetty) as Clara. Plus, Shaun Parkes (Small Axe) and Sophia Di Martino (Loki).
The screenplay comes from Tabitha Stevenson and Jo Brand. The director is Euros Lynn (His Dark Materials, Heartstopper).
The film is getting a UK cinema release on 18th October 2024, as well as landing on Sky Cinema that day too.
