The Holding

Synopsis

On an isolated farm in the beautiful but rugged Peak District in Northern England, Cassie and her children are visited by a lonely predator, a man searching for his own 'ready-made' family.
 
He charms his way into their lives with ease before revealing his obsession. Trapped, Cassie and her girls have to escape. They unite and fight like never before. Tense and suspenseful, The Holding is a heart-pounding thriller in the vein of 'Cape Fear'.
