But all is not well in David and Alice's life and he begins to suspect that his wife might be cheating. That suspicion arises at the same time that through his work, he discovers that their home is the site of a grizzly serious of murders by a man who killed his wife for being unfaithful and then proceeded to drown his children in a nearby canal.

To celebrate their 13th anniversary this year, the Melbourne Underground Film Festival is going green!
No, they’re not out to save the kookaburra or anything. Instead, they’re hosting a special tribute to the New Irish Low Budget Cinema, featuring two films by acclaimed filmmaker Ivan Kavanagh, plus work by Colin Downey, Gary Kenneally and Gerard Lough.
Muff will host a repeat screening of Kavanagh’s celebrated thriller Tin Can Man — it previously screened at Muff in 2008 — as well as his latest film, The Fading Light. The three other Irish films screening all fall into the horror/thriller genres, from Downey’s The Looking Glass to Kenneally’s Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman and Lough’s trilogy-ending The Shaken 3. And, in addition, the entire fest kicks off with the opening night Irish thriller Charlie Casanova by Terry McMahon.
But don’t think Muff is all Irish all the time this year,...

The Irish Film Institute will host exclusive screenings of Irish writer, director and editor Ivan Kavanagh's award-winning 'The Fading Light' from March 12th to 18th. The screenings will be run as part of the Institute's ongoing commitment to new Irish film. The film walked away with honours for both Best Irish Film and Best Actor (for Patrick O'Donnell) from the 2010 Jameson Dublin International Film Festival's. A study of a family in crisis, Ivan Kavanagh's fifth feature, produced by AnneMarie Naughton (Tara Road), is an intense affair where two estranged daughters return home to a dying mother and become reacquainted with a house of difficult memories. Their brother, played by Patrick O'Donnell is disabled and dependent, he faces an uncertain future and his predicament tests the sisters' affection and empathy. The turmoil created by the approach of death intensifies the relationships, and an already fragmented family slides towards disintegration.
