Trailer Premiere For Polanski-esque Australian Thriller OBSERVANCE

The new film by filmmaker Joseph Sims-Dennett (Bad Behaviour), Observance was shot in 11 days with a very limited budget in 2013 during the worst heatwave Sydney had ever experienced.  

The film will be having its World Premiere at the upcoming Fantasia Festival in July, and here is what the Festival says about the film: "(Observance is) a poignant and terrifying thriller in the vein of Polanski's Repulsion. Among the first 2015 Camera Lucida selections to be announced, Observance promises to haunt your nightmares."

Official synopsis: In the grip of grief following the death of his young son, Parker reluctantly returns to work as a private investigator. Embarking on an unusual assignment to observe a woman from an abandoned apartment, Parker records the strange occurrences surrounding her, unaware that the derelict building that he surveys her from has birthed a dark presence which slowly threatens to consume him.

The film stars Lindsay Farris (Primal, Bad Behaviour), Stephanie King (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries), John Jarratt (Wolf Creek, Django Unchained), Roger Ward (Mad Max), Tom O'Sullivan (Underbelly) and Benedict Hardie (The Water Diviner).
