\u201cA good hunter, in order to understand her predator, needs to know where her last kill came from.\u201d <\/p>\n

That warning hangs over the first teaser for writer\/director Andrea Corsini\u2019s \u201cFerine<\/a>,\u201d a deeply unsettling glimpse at a new mysterious horror movie making its international premiere in Fantasia<\/a>\u2019s prestigious Cheval Noir Competition<\/a> on July 23. IndieWire exclusively debuts both the teaser and poster below \u2014 but your guess is as good as ours when it comes to understanding this particular piece of cinematic prey.<\/p>\n

The feature directorial debut of its Italian filmmaker, Corsini\u2019s \u201cFerine\u201d stars Carolyn Bracken (\u201cOddity\u201d<\/a>) as Irene. She\u2019s a wealthy art collector whose life is abruptly shattered by tragedy after adopting a baby through a surrogate arrangement.<\/p>\n

\"Behemoth\"<\/a> \"Moana<\/a> <\/p>\n

As grief gives way to Irene\u2019s more primal mourning instincts, the protagonist\u2019s path collides with Caroline Goodall\u2019s always-collected Dama (\u201cSchindler\u2019s List\u201d). And soon, the affluent trafficker of exotic animals identifies Irene as a suffering woman who has quietly become a dangerous predator herself.<\/p>\n

Bracken, who is almost unrecognizable here, broke out with her haunting performance in Damian McCarthy\u2019s \u201cOddity.\u201d The 2024 film<\/a> helped establish its Irish auteur as one of the indie genre circuit\u2019s most shining success stories, and opposite Goodall, Bracken looks ready to channel something like the feral physicality of Julia Ducournau\u2019s \u201cRaw\u201d \u2014\u00a0while also embracing Corsini\u2019s distinct directorial vision and startlingly abrasive horror voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cFerine\u201d arrives at Fantasia after a years-long journey through the festival\u2019s own development pipeline. Corsini\u2019s original short premiered during Venice Critics\u2019 Week in 2020 before celebrating its Canadian premiere at Fantasia. The feature adaptation debuted through the Fronti\u00e8res Proof-of-Concept program at Cannes in 2021 and later participated in Fronti\u00e8res\u2019 Co-Production Market in Montreal, making this year\u2019s world premiere a fitting homecoming. The film also boasts an original score from legendary Italian composer Pino Donaggio, know for \u201cCarrie,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t Look Now,\u201d and \u201cThe Howling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fantasia artistic director and director of international programming Mitch Davis<\/a> called the work \u201ca powerhouse of a film, aesthetically stunning and thematically rich\u201d and said it marks \u201ca return to a provocative and stylish form of Italian horror cinema that has been absent from the screen for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
