Tagline: “Time is Running Out.” Stephanie Joalland's The Quiet Hour will see DVD shelves this March. The film is a post-apocalyptic thriller, involving an alien invasion. The film was reviewed here: The Quiet Hour Reviewed on 28Dla. The film is a bit darker in tone, than what the promotional material reveals. However, it is an interesting title and it tackles a few difficult moral choices. As well, Monarch Home Entertainment will host the DVD launch. And, the film centrally stars: Dakota Blue Richards, Karl Davies and Jack McMullen. A preview of the film's home entertainment release is hosted here. The official synopsis begins with an invasion. Extra-terrestrial machines exploit the Earth's resources, forcing survivors underground. Sarah (Richards) lives on a remote farm. But, bandits make it difficult for her to survive. Now, she must find a way to survive as desperation sets in. The Quiet Hour will be released in an unrated version.

Director/writer: Stéphanie Joalland. Cast: Dakota Blue Richards, Karl Davies, Jack McMullen and Brigitte Millar. The Quiet Hour is a science fiction drama. From Stéphanie Joalland, the film takes place during an alien invasion. Characters can only emerge from their hideaways for two hours a day and the local cannibals take advantage of these 120 minutes. Meanwhile, a desperate family struggles to survive, in these dire circumstances. Strangely, there are a number of suicidal characters, in this outing; they crack under the many pressures. And, the focus of the film is more on interaction and dialogue, versus action or story elements. The film is slowly paced through early acts, but the film is well produced, overall. Most science fiction fans will enjoy this indie film outing. Sarah (Dakota Blue Richards) is the protagonist of the film. The opening scene involves Sarah, burying her father. He has fallen victim to an alien attack.
