Belfast's Red Mist on release

7 July 2009 -

Belfast-produced horror flick Red Mist is set for DVD and Blu-Ray release next week.

Currently showing at the Apollo West End in Piccadilly Circus, the film is backed by up-and-coming local producer Michael Kelly and is his first-feature film.

A cast including Arielle Kebbel, Sarah Carter, Andrew Lee Potts and Martin Compston perform in the Paddy Breathnach-helmed movie, which is sure to chill fans of films in Northern Ireland to the core.

The story tells the tale of a group of partying medical students, whose revelry puts a hospital caretaker in a coma.

After the trainees resuscitate him with an experimental drug that sends his brainwaves haywire, the caretaker goes on a rampaging killing spree that sees Catherine's (Arielle Kebbel) friends picked off one by one.

Last week it was announced that the 19th Coca-Cola Cinemagic International Film and Television Festival for Young People, which takes place from 18th November to 4th December 2009, is now accepting entries.

Prizes of £1,000 will be awarded for the best feature and best short film for children's and teenage audiences.
