Prepare for a wild ride into the murky depths of guilt and paranoia with Betrayal, hitting VOD and digital platforms on September 6, 2024, courtesy of Saban Films. This indie thriller, directed by Rodger Griffiths, is a no-holds-barred exploration of family dysfunction pushed to its most savage extremes.
The film follows three brothers who, years after murdering their abusive father and burying him in a remote Scottish forest, return to the scene of the crime—only to discover that his grave is disturbingly empty. What unfolds is a gripping psychological thriller as the brothers descend into fear, suspicion, and infighting, with each questioning the other’s loyalty. It’s a tense, slow-burning potboiler where loyalty fractures and dark secrets boil to the surface.
“…the brothers descend into fear, suspicion, and infighting…”
The cast features Game of Thrones alums Daniel Portman, Paul Higgins, Brian Vernel, and Calum Ross. This stellar ensemble adds a gritty realism to the unsettling narrative. Griffiths co-wrote the script, balancing brutal violence with moments of intense psychological terror, leading to devastating consequences as the family unravels.
If you’ve been craving a film that nails both psychological horror and survivalist paranoia, Betrayal delivers on both fronts. The Scottish backdrop isn’t just scenic—it’s a character of its own, amplifying the sense of isolation and dread that runs through every frame.
With its moody atmosphere and razor-sharp tension, Betrayal is a solid choice for fans of dark indie thrillers. It’s proof that, when done right, a small film can pack a massive emotional punch.
Catch it on September 6, and dive deep into the madness!
