Details on the debut feature from noted music video director, Ben Young, have been thin on the ground so far, but at last here’s a look at Hounds of Love, which is set to make its world debut at the Venice Film Festival later this month.

Set in Perth, Hounds of Love sees Stephen Curry and Emma Booth as a twisted suburban couple who kidnap a teenage girl (Ashleigh Cummings) and hold her captive for their own awful purposes. The girl, Vicki, realises she must play the two off each other if she is to make her escape. Susie Porter, Damien De Montemas and Harrison Gilbertson also star in this story of control, co-dependence and much more.

The trailer here reveals few such plot details, but the juxtaposition of the creepy and the mundane certainly does the trick, doesn’t it?

Hounds of Love is expected in theatres later this year.
