EXCLUSIVE: Alliance Media Partners and the Aussie-based indie production house Prodigy Movies are taking their flick Recoil starring Chad Michael Collins (Sniper) to the upcoming Cannes Market.
Directed by Nick Robertson (The Pack), the film was produced by Michael Robertson and UK producer Chris Wheeldon. Robertson and Wheeldon previously teamed on the survival thriller Black Water.
Set in an unforgiving desert, Recoil is described as a “relentless war thriller with a mind-bending supernatural twist that will grip you from the first frame and never let go.”
The synopsis reads: Three marooned soldiers. An immobilized infantry vehicle. The unforgiving desert. And a deadly curse that turns their reality into a waking nightmare. This is not just another Middle Eastern war film—this is war at its most psychological, its most visceral, and its most terrifying.

“We’re excited for everyone to experience the film’s unapologetic intensity as the first feature movie drawing on Australia’s involvement in the global ‘War on Terror’ and very much look forward to working with AMP with this aim,” Robertson said in a statement.
Anthony Buckner, AMP’s Head of Sales and Acquisitions, added: “We can’t wait to throw buyers into RECOIL on the Croisette. It’s a powerful mix of action, suspense, and horror that brings a new twist to the war genre as we know it.”
