COMPULSION: THE PULSE OF THE NIGHT IS DEADLY.
Neil Marshall, successful director of ‘The Descent’, ‘Dog Soldiers’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ has re-united with acclaimed actress Charlote Kirk. Together they experienced a solid run with movies like ‘The Reckoning’, ‘The Lair’ and ‘Duchess.’ This time their new thriller, ‘Compulsion’, co-written by Kirk and Marshall, will take you in Malta where it was entirely filmed. ‘Compulsion’ is produced by Kristyna Sellnerova, co-produced by Andre Loggenberg and with executive producer Emily Corcoran. Several production and financing companies brought this splendid film to life, such as Cork Films, Media Finance, Primal Empire Studios, Templeheart Films, DO Productions and Malta production.
Malta has an amazing Film program headed by film commissioner Johann Grech and his very efficient team. Malta is your destination for your next film shooting location!
Neil Marshall said this new film was inspired by the erotic thrillers from the 80’s, like ‘Basic Instinct’ and ‘Fatal Attraction.’ ‘Compulsion’ follows the heated relationship between two women, Charlote Kirk and Anna-Maria Sieklucka (from the ‘365 Days’ trilogy on Netflix) while a series of murders is putting Malta in high alert. Kirk’s character, “Diana”, is a flamboyant and ruthless thief who is going to charm the seemingly innocent young “Evie”, played by Sieklucka, a woman with a troubled past and a dark secret.
This film has the flavor of a sexy Hitchcock like thriller, and it will keep you guessing at what is coming next. A pure delight for your senses and your intelligence.
Opus One Pictures is handling worldwide sales. ‘Compulsion’ has already been sold to several key European territories and many more on-going deals are in negotiations. Director Neil Marshall, leading actresses Charlote Kirk and Anna-Maria Sieklucka are right now in Malta as ‘Compulsion’ (https://mediterrane.com/events/compulsion/ ) is one of the highlight of the Mediterrane Film Festival (https://mediterrane.com ). They will shine on the red carpet for the World premiere of their film. For sure, ‘Compulsion’ will be a success when Saban Pictures releases it, in September, in the U.S. (https://deadline.com/2024/11/neil-marshall-movie-compulsion-charlotte-kirk-anna-marie-sieklucka-gets-domestic-deal-1236166226/ ). A trailer, created by Mark Atkins, will be shortly released in anticipation of this ‘tour de force’ suspense picture.
20 years ago, Neil Marshall surprised us with ‘Dog Soldiers’ and this time, with ‘Compulsion’, he again will keep you right on the edge of your seat. You better fasten your mental belt as this film takes dark turns, at times, leading you deep into the insanity of the human soul. There is already a buzz with
‘Compulsion’ and the rise of Charlote Kirk and Anna-Maria Sieklucka. No doubt that this crowd-pleasing picture will be warmly welcomed in countries all around the world. ‘Compulsion’ is an irresistible urge to behave wildly at whatever cost the consequences are. Watch out for the pulse of the night and for your own wildness!
World Premiere at the Mediterrane Film Festival on Monday June 23rd, Malta.
