‘Ferine’ Trailer Unleashes a Feral Appetite [Fantasia]

Ahead of its World Premiere at Fantasia this week, Dread Central has unveiled the official festival trailer for Ferine… and it has me feeling anything but hungry.

In the film, “A tragic event shatters a rich art collector’s life, awakening her primal nature. She destroys her privileged existence to build a new concept of family, leading her on a path of destruction and animalistic transformation.”

Drawing from films like The Lure, Titane, Ginger Snaps, In My Skin, and Raw, the trailer continues a long tradition of feminist horror centered on women transforming into something primal, driven by an insatiable hunger for flesh. While it doesn’t appear to reinvent the subgenre, it nevertheless makes for an intriguing first look.

Described as “a complex, thrilling fable about the never-ending struggle between the rational and animal sides of human nature,” the tale comes from writer/director Andrea Corsini.

Carolyn Bracken (Oddity), Caroline Goodall and Paola Lavini star in the film.

Longtime Brian De Palma collaborator, Pino Donaggio (Blow Out, Carrie), did the score.

Feast your eyes on the trailer.
