Director Illya Konstantin has announced the World Premiere of his feature film debut “Night of Violence” at the opening night of London’s FrightFest 2025.
“Night of Violence” tells of a corporate celebration following a major legal victory and the launch of a controversial drug that is cut short when masked townspeople posing as caterers launch a brutal attack. Trapped inside their office tower, a handful of employees scramble to survive as they’re hunted down one by one in a relentless, coordinated assault. With no escape and nowhere safe, the survivors are forced to fight back and turn the tables in a desperate bid to make it through the night of violence.
“This is my debut feature, and I didn’t want to play it safe,” said Konstantin. “We shot fast, with heart, and with an incredible team of actors and crew who gave everything. It’s scrappy, angry, satirical, and violent, but underneath all the madness is a question we’re still asking: What’s the price of survival in a world driven by profit? I’ve always believed horror is one of the last great frontiers for fearless storytelling. If Night of Violence punches you in the gut and maybe makes you laugh nervously while it does, then we’ve done our job. We’re proud of this one.”
“Night of Violence” will world premiere at FrightFest on Thursday, August 21, at the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square.
