The fear of the unseen is the worst, as the saying goes. When you’re faced with something you can’t predict or see, it’s unsettling and leaves you constantly wondering about what might happen next. Scott Lyus masterfully captures a post-apocalyptic scenario where encounters with unknown monsters drive the story of Walking Against the Rain. The element of the unknown looms over the characters, Blair and Tommy, and as the story unfolds, the duo find themselves navigating a world altered by some catastrophe. A pivotal moment occurs when Blair and Tommy manage to connect with each other using a radio mic. This communication provides them with closure that has been missing from their lives. However, the danger the monsters represent remains an ever-present challenge, putting Blair and Tommy’s lives at risk in Walking Against the Rain.

Out now on VOD is Walking Against the Rain, the debut feature of director Scott Lyus that brings apocalyptic creature feature mayhem in the form of full-body practical creature effects.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive clip that introduces Tommy (Reece Douglas) as he attempts to make first contact with Blair (Sophia Eleni), but he’ll have to survive an attack from one of the film’s brand new monster creations, The Forsaken, first.
The monstrous Forsaken are brought to life via full-body practical creature effects from BIFA-winning FX designer Dan Martin (Infinity Pool).
Walking Against the Rain follows “the story of Blair and Tommy, two strangers who traverse an empty landscape in search of each other, relying only on their two soon-to-die battery-operated radio mics for communication. As they try to evade a new evil monster, they confront loss and grief and learn to trust humanity once again.”

Writer-director Scott Lyus made something of an impact on the film festival circuit with his short film Black Mass and now he’s back with his first feature, Walking Against the Rain, which explores a familiar post-apocalyptic theme but puts a wonderfully different spin on things!
The film follows two strangers, Blair and Tommy are navigating their way across a barren landscape in a desperate attempt to find each other. With their only form of communication being two soon-to-die battery-operated radio microphones and with a new evil in the shape of ‘The Forsaken’ tracking them down, they must not only make their way to a rendezvous point but also merely survive.
