2015德国汉堡电影节最佳影片提名作品。导演是斯蒂芬·里克，曾凭借《双重罪》入围第十四届上海国际电影节金爵奖参赛。这部新作和平克·弗洛伊德的专辑《The Dark Side of The Moon》并没关系，而是改编了“瑞士当代最成功的作家”马丁·苏特的2006年同名畅销小说，而主角莫里兹·布雷多，他之前作品如《罗拉快跑》、《死亡实验》想必大家都很熟悉。故事讲述了他饰演的一位律政精英，因为一场毒蘑菇的冒险之旅，生活渐渐失序，往不可控轨道发展的故事……导演特别擅长气氛营造，摇晃的镜头、迷幻的视角，让观众与主人公一起陷入不可知的恐惧中。

　　WRITERS RETREAT is a horror film written by Jeremy Sheldon & C.M. Taylor set on fictional Kilton Island where strangers come together to develop their writing. Mark Twain famously said: "Write what you know". But how far would you go to find material for the ultimate bestseller? At a writer's retreat on an isolated island, novelist Zandra finds herself amongst a group of strangers confronting their darkest secrets as they write. When a member of the party mysteriously disappears, Zandra fears there is a more sinister presence trapped on the island with them. WRITERS RETREAT is filmed in a classic British Hammer Horror style using the strange features of its location to create a hauntingly terrifying film with atmosphere and menace. The script delves deep into human emotions and honesty, causing the characters to ask questions about themselves that they didn't know they had and question the audience as to whether things are quite what they seem.

　　Winter 2010. Dolomites. Tommaso Conci, a 4 year old child, disappears during a festival where people disguised as devils, the Krampus, terrorize the village with whips and chains.

The mother, Linda, however, can not adapt to the new situation. A suspect digs inside her: what if that child is not really her son?
