- Synopsis:
An allegorical story of violence against women and the dangers of victim blaming wrapped in a classic monster movie, writer-director Gia Elliottakes no prisoners in her multi award-winning debut feature Take Back the Night. Finding herself the victim of a violent monster attack, Jane launches a vigilante campaign to hunt the beast that tried to kill her. But her troubling history of drug use and mental illness bubbles to the surface, causing her family, community, and the authorities to question her account. Alone in her fight, Jane starts to doubt her own memory of the attack... and to wonder if the monster exists at all. Fuelled by formidable female talent both in front of and behind the camera, Take Back the Night is a terrifying suspense thriller that's both an eye-opening expose and a powerful rallying cry. - Actors:
