Director Jonathan Zaurin had this to say about Derelict –
“It’s an honour to be selected for a festival as respected and important as FrightFest and we can’t wait to show everybody what we’ve been working on for the last 2 years at the Odeon in Leicester Square, a location synonymous with world premieres!”
Writer and film critic Guy Adams called it “Rashomon for the Sports Direct Generation!” and Wayne Kramer (The Cooler, Running Scared) said “DERELICT is the slow-burn anatomy of a brutal murder and its aftermath, one that puts the viewer on a collision course with both the victims and the perpetrators in the gut-wrenching crime drama from talented up-and-coming director Jonathan Zaurin. Following in the tradition of Mike Hodges, Shane Meadows and Ben Wheatley, Zaurin demonstrates a skill for digging just below the surface of England’s societal ills, exposing equal parts pain and redemption, all served up with a powerful cinematic vision.”
