‘Three estranged siblings reunite for the wake of their spiteful mother, leading to a inheritance battle that turns deadly.’
An upcoming feature film written and directed by Peter Young, currently in production with Village Films Ltd. with funding from Northern Ireland Screen’s New Talent Focus Scheme.
Our House is a family-drama turned colloquial thriller. It merges the rising anxiety of contained thrillers like The Green Room with the comedic flair of Northern Irish cinema like Mickeybo and Me.
It deals with complicated family dynamics in the isolated Northern Irish countryside, and repackages a narrative about sibling reconcilliation as a suspenseful battle-for-survival. Much like Peter’s prior work, this ‘culchie’ thriller-comedy blends authentic sociodrama with a fantastical setting for a uniquely Northern Irish take on the claustro-thriller genre.
