British director Susan Jacobson's first feature film promises to be a brutal surivial thriller and we're very much looking forward to seeing some footage. For now though, we have our first look at a poster via distributor AV Pictires and some concept art as well as the first extended synopsis.

Synopsis:
Set in the rugged and atmospheric landscape of the isolated English countryside, The Holding is a heart-pounding thriller and the ultimate survival story which cranks up the tension to the maximum.

Cassie Naylor has a brutal secret - eight months ago she killed her husband when she discovered he had been abusing her teenage daughter. Now as she runs the farm alone with her two girls, financial ruin threatens and Cassie struggles to hold her home and family together. One day a charismatic stranger arrives at the farm and charms his way into Cassie's life, but as time passes it becomes clear that he wants a "ready-made" family of his own ... he wants her family.

The Holding stars Kierston Wareing, Vincent Regan, David Bradley and Terry Stone and is currently in post-production.
