“We’ve wanted to live as normal a life as possible.” Sky Cinemas has revealed their official trailer for a dark comedy called The Radleys, arriving in UK cinemas this fall. We missed this trailer when it first appeared but happy to catch up with it. The film just premiered at the 2024 Edinburgh Film Festival last week, though it still has no US date set. It’s the story of a seemingly ordinary family with a dark secret: they are vampires. However, they’re abstaining vampires. They choose not to drink blood despite their own natural cravings, but their truth is revealed one day. The shocking revelation encourages lovesick son Rowan and previously vegan Clara to question their own identity and suppressed desires. Peter’s twin brother Will arrives (played by Damian Lewis in a dual role as both).

Can the family continue to hold back their hidden bloodlust, or will they give in to their true nature? Lewis stars with Kelly Macdonald, Shaun Parkes, Harry Baxendale, Bo Bragason, & Sophia Di Martino.
