Hangashore is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Justin Oakey and slated for release in 2025.[1] The film stars Hera Hilmar as Vera, an Icelandic artist haunted by recurring nightmares about her missing father; she travels to Newfoundland in search of him, and becomes drawn into a relationship with Jack (James Frecheville), a local seal hunter.[2]
Production
The film was announced as receiving funding from Telefilm Canada in 2023,[3] and entered production in spring 2024.[4]
Oakey described the film as stripping away the naturalism of his prior films to build an "ominous, almost feverish atmosphere".[4]
Distribution
The film is slated to premiere at the 2025 Atlantic International Film Festival.[1]
