Five friends, one last ferry
Hostile Islands
Five friends miss the last ferry off the Toronto Islands and try to wait out the night near the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse. A dead coyote, figures in the trees, and a cult drawn to the shoreline turn the familiar summer hang into a fight to survive until morning.
Written and directed by Simon Borer, Look Across The Water is a raw, handmade psychological horror feature about grief, loyalty, and the places that become strange after dark.
