Gary Love
P&I - Director Bio
Gary Love has almost four decades of experience in the screen industries, both as an actor and as a director of films, TV series, serials and commercials. The Dark Mile is his second independent feature; he previously directed the Edinburgh Film Festival nominated British low budget urban thriller Sugarhouse (2007) starring Andy Serkis, Ashley Walters and Steven Mackintosh.
The Dark Mile
Part of the Night Moves Strand
A tense psychological horror-thriller, The Dark Mile blends The Wicker Man and Duel and comes up with a film rich in atmosphere and tension. London couple Louise and Clare (Rebecca Calder and Deirdre Mullins) book a sailing trip in the Highlands to recover from a personal tragedy. The location may be idyllic but soon they are tormented by a black industrial barge that follows them, and by the dysfunctional folk on board... Hints of the occult and paganism point to dark times ahead as the tension mounts.
