MashableUnlock 7 Keys for an ‘unpredictable and haunting rollercoaster’ (The Film Experience) as two lovers embark on a passionate and perilous journey across London in Joy Wilkinson’s (Lockwood & Co., Suspect) steamy and suspenseful British psychosexual thriller.
Hailed a ‘horror director to watch’ (Film Stories), Wilkinson’s ‘intoxicating’ (The Film Experience) feature debut has drawn comparisons to iconic ‘80s erotic features Fatal Attraction and Body Heat. Following its acclaimed World Premiere at SXSW and UK Premiere at FrightFest 2024, the film now makes its long-awaited UK digital debut on 16 November, courtesy of Trinity Content Partners.
Featuring a British cast that sees Emma McDonald (The Serpent Queen, Moonhaven) and Billy Postlethwaite (Silo, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny) take the lead roles as lovers Lena and Daniel alongside a stellar line up of acting talent including Andrew Scarborough (Emmerdale, Downton Abbey), Amit Shah (Murder Before Evensong, Crashing), Jemma Moore (Red Eye, Host) and Jane Goddard (Doctor Who: Peladon).
Stood up on a date, extrovert single mum Lena (McDonald) unexpectedly meets lost soul Daniel (Postlethwaite) and they have an instant connection, deepened by Lena’s discovery that Daniel still owns the keys to every home he’s ever lived in. Desperate for an escape from reality, Emma convinces Daniel to go on the ultimate property porn tour of London, embarking on a wild weekend of getting to know each other intimately in other people’s homes.
With each key, they unlock another layer of each other’s past lives, diving deeper into their thrilling game of risk. At first they appear to be soulmates, destined to save each other, that is until the adrenaline rush wears off as reality kicks in and dark secrets are exposed. Will they get away with their whistle stop raunchy real estate tour, or will they get caught before they get to the seventh home?
From tiny apartments to riverside penthouses, 7 Keys explores a toxic romance condensed into one passionate weekend and a twisted love story that explores the thrilling allure and dark underbelly of modern city life where young people struggle to find their place – and sometimes struggle to survive.
