Duress and Distress in this first Trailer

Media 8 Entertainment is taking the film Duress to the European Film Market, which begins in less than a week. Duress is a story about suicide and the protection of a young daughter. If that was not enough, Duress will also include a charismatic killer, who trains an unwilling protégé in his dark arts. The film is more thriller than horror, but the writing is new and with any luck the film will be picked up for North American distribution, for fans to enjoy. Have a look at the synopsis, which shows potential and a somewhat grainy trailer below.

The synopsis for Duress here:

As Abner's new found protégé, Richard is forced to adopt the mind of his sociopathic mentor in order to protect the one he loves. Richard must decide if he's willing to kill in order to keep his daughter alive" (All).
