Australia's Acolytes: Movie Poster, and Trailer

Australian director Jon Hewitt delivers a tantalizing tale that while complex looks to deliver thrills and chills. "Acolytes," has not received a North American distributor and seems to have made most of the rounds at film festivals. A DVD release or limited theatrical showing are both likely. See the first trailer and cast information here.

A synopsis...

A trio of teens, including two boys and a girl, stumble across what they believe to be the resolution of a classmate’s disappearance. An ex-convict and a strange fellow in a S.U.V. are part of the story the kids weave to explain the mystery. Instead of talking to the police, however, the boys naively try to leverage the situation to their own advantage. As the scheme inevitably falls apart, perceptions of who are the antagonists and protagonists shift until almost all of the characters are compromised (Twitch).

Release Date: North American unknown.

Rating: Restricted for violence and thematic elements.

Director: Jon Hewitt.

Writer(s): Shayne Armstrong, and Shane Krause.

Cast: Danny Baldwin, Holly Baldwin, Harley Bennick, Michael Dorman, Sue Dwyer, Joel Edgerton, Sebastian Gregory, and Isabella Heathcote.
