Rea tells us, “I think we’ve made a fun and original found-footage feature that we hope pleases fans of the sub-genre. We are planning for a festival premiere possibly in the late summer.”

From award-winning writer/director Patrick Rea (I Am LIsa), They Wait In The Dark stars Sarah McGuire (The Stylist) as Amy, a mum fleeing with her son from her abusive partner Judith, encountering something even more terrifying when she seeks refuge in the old farmhouse she grew up in.
They Wait In The Dark features a superb central performances from McGuire, showing unexpected mettle as her situation spirals into hopelessness, and Laurie Catherine Winkel (Father of the Bride) is outstanding as the knife-toting, not to be messed with Judith, who, as Eye for Film says, “strides through this film like one of the great screen villains”.
As with his other genre films I Am Lisa and Enclosure, Rea is proving to be an accomplished horror stylist, eliciting terrific performances from his cast, and wringing maximum suspense from a screenplay that builds up a steady drip of dread, as the characters are plunged deeper into darkness.

They Wait in the Dark is a horror film directed by Patrick Rea that has been woven in a manner to send chills down our spines. The plot of They Wait in the Dark revolves around Amy and her adopted son, Adrian, who are on the run from someone.

They Wait in the Dark opens with a young girl staring at her mother’s corpse laying on her bed, a bloody wound where her throat used to be. The image is filtered as if a dream or a hallucination. And indeed it is a dream, one that Amy wakes up from in the corner of a convenience store, her adopted son Adrian (Patrick McGee) asleep on the floor next to her.
They’re on the run, not from the law but from Judith, Amy’sviolently abusive ex. How violent is she? When w a truck driver directs a few raunchy comments her way she takes a knife to him rather than just kicking him in the nuts. Amy still bears a scar from that same knife. Now, running out of money and options...

Sarah McGuire and Patrick McGee in They Wait In The Dark
One of the hidden gems at this year’s Frightfest, Patrick Rea’s claustrophobic thriller They Wait In The Dark is a small budget film which punches well above its weight. It follows troubled mother Amy (Sarah McGuire) as she takes her young son Adrian (Patrick McGee) across the country to the now-abandoned house where she grew up, trying to hide him from her violent partner Judith (Laurie Catherine Winkel). There are other things contributing to Sarah’s disturbed state of mind, however, and the house itself might represent the biggest danger of all. After seeing it I dropped Patrick a line and arranged to chat, beginning by asking him how he managed to create a film which looks so polished and impressive with really limited resources.
