Project Detail

Dark Rage

Synopsis

Ned Harris is a fifty-something everyman. Doting father. Loyal colleague. Compassionate landlord. Serial killer. Beneath the seemingly normal surface resides a web of warped sensibilities, spontaneous brutality and cold-blooded murder. A psychiatrist would probably blame Ned's peculiar childhood, but what's Paul's excuse? Paul James is Ned's long-standing tenant - callous and calculating, with voyeuristic tendencies and a bizarre sense of humour.

So when Kate and Jason, a young couple with problems of their own, move into Ned's building, they prove to be the catalyst for a shocking turn of events. It's not long before Ned's rapidly unravelling life spirals completely out of control, as we race towards a deadly conclusion. The story culminates in a final showdown between Ned and Paul, where they are forced to confront their demons and reveal their darkest secret. Dark Rage is a twisted journey into a deeply disturbed mind. Not for the faint-hearted!

Two men face each other across a table with a pint in a pub. So You're Going To Die

Director: Oisín Kearney

Year: 2025

An anxious young man, Ruari, arrives to meet his dad, Liam, in their local pub. They reminisce about the past, as Ruari struggles to share some big news. Conversation turns to Liam’s alcoholism, which resulted in the breakdown of Liam’s marriage to Ruari’s Mum, Bridget. As tensions rise over the strained father-son relationship, Ruari finally tells his dad the reason for their impromptu meeting – he has Motor Neurone Disease. He is going to die. The shock forces them to finally connect and talk properly, as they realise what is ahead of them. Desperate, Ruari asks his dad to help him break the news to his mum. Liam, reluctant at first, downs another pint, and it hits Ruari that his dad is drinking non-alcoholic beer. As Bridget, Ruari’s mum, walks through the door, Liam is caught in the headlights by the family reunion. In tragedy and celebration, and with their differences finally set aside, we know that these two men will navigate their days ahead, together. Official Selection Galway Film Fleadh 2026
