The World We Knew

Synopsis

England. The present day. After a job goes bad, six armed robbers must spend a single night at a deserted safe house. But during their stay malevolent apparitions appear and the men find themselves fighting for their lives and their sanity. What is real and what is the product of their tormented minds? Haunted by their past misdemeanours, mutual distrust and by things that go bump in the night the men start to lose their fragile grip on reality. But is it guilt or ghosts that finally push them over the edge? And who - or what - will step out of the front door the next day? THE WORLD WE KNEW is a modern Film Noir with an existential twist – think RESERVOIR DOGS shot by Jean-Pierre Melville.
