FIRST LOOK: Solstice Studios' "UNHINGED" starring Academy Award Winner Russell Crowe and Caren Pistorius




"UNHINGED"

Starring Academy Award Winner Russell Crowe and Caren Pistorius

Directed by Derrick Borte (American Dreamer)



Synopsis: This psychological thriller takes an ordinary, everyday incident to its most terrifying conclusion in telling the story of Rachel (Pistorius), a mother who leans on her horn at the wrong time, to the wrong guy (Crowe). Road rage doesn't begin to describe what he is about to do to her and everyone she knows.

Director Derrick Borte said: "The mark of a great film is one that both entertains and sparks conversation.  I believe, in a very terrifying way, Unhinged does exactly that."

Written by Carl Ellsworth (Disturbia, Red Eye)
Starring Russell Crowe and Caren Pistorius
Co-starring Gabriel Bateman and Jimmi Simpson
Produced by Lisa Ellzey (Warrior, Kingdom of Heaven)
