Sky Cinemas Unveils Trailer for The Radleys: A Dark Comedy with a Vampiric Twist

Sky Cinemas has dropped the intriguing trailer for The Radleys, a dark comedy directed by Euros Lyn. The film promises to offer a unique blend of humor and horror, centered around a seemingly ordinary family with an extraordinary secret: they are vampires.

Starring Damian Lewis, Kelly Macdonald, Shaun Parkes, Harry Baxendale, Bo Bragason, and Sophia Di Martino, The Radleys explores the lives of a family that has chosen to abstain from their vampiric cravings. Despite their natural inclination towards blood, the Radleys have committed to a blood-free existence, until their secret is unexpectedly revealed.

The revelation sets off a series of events that force the family members to confront their suppressed desires and identities. Rowan, the lovesick son, and Clara, who previously identified as vegan, begin to question their own repressed urges. The dynamic intensifies with the arrival of Will, Peter's twin brother, portrayed by Damian Lewis in a dual role. Unlike the Radleys, Will fully embraces his vampiric nature and indulges in a hedonistic, bloodthirsty lifestyle. His presence challenges the family to confront their true selves and their hidden bloodlust.

The screenplay, penned by Talitha Stevenson and developed by Jo Brand, is adapted from Matt Haig’s novel of the same name. The film promises a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of identity and desire, wrapped in a darkly comedic narrative.

The Radleys is slated for release on October 18th, 2024, and is set to offer a fresh and engaging take on the vampire genre. With its blend of humor, horror, and family drama, it’s poised to captivate audiences and spark conversations about the nature of repression and self-acceptance.
