The Molinare team were invited to attend the premiere of new urban horror movie Demons Never Die on Monday 10th October, on which we provided full picture post production.
The film follows a group of friends who decide to make a suicide pact after one of them kills themselves. But it soon looks like a dangerous murderer may be on the loose as the friends start to die one by one in strange circumstances. The film features a great cast, including Misfits actor Robert Sheehan, and X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos in her first theatrical role.
The stars were out in force at the Leicester Square premiere, including Idris Elba, star of The Wire and Luther, who put his Producer skills behind the film. Also there were pop stars Jessie J and Dionne Bromfield, who lends her vocals to the film’s fantastic soundtrack.
