AMULET explores the story of Tomaz (Alec Secareanu: Gods Own Country, Cannibal), an ex-soldier from an unnamed foreign conflict, living in strained circumstances in London. Haunted by his past, he is offered a place to stay in a decaying, claustrophobic house, inhabited by an enigmatic young woman (Carla Juri: Blade Runner 2049, Wetlands) and her dying mother. As he starts to fall for his new companion, Tomaz cannot ignore his suspicion that something insidious might also be living alongside them.
Having enjoyed widespread acclaim as an actor across film, television and stage for over twenty years, Romola Garai (Atonement, Amazing Grace, Emma) initially turned her attention to directing with the release of the award-winning short film Scrubber in 2012. Following its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, AMULET, Garai's bold and daring feature debut has enjoyed rapturous reactions from festival audiences and critics alike, with Variety dubbing the film, 'Romola Garai's striking directorial debut".
