In a kill-or-be-killed world where starvation is rife and strangers are always dangerous, The Survivalist lives off the grid, and by his wits. When a starving woman and her teenage daughter discover his forest refuge, his loneliness drives him to overcome his suspicion and strike a bargain with them in return for bed and board. But as desire becomes stronger than necessity, the exchange becomes an uneasy, ongoing arrangement which threatens not only his carefully constructed world but also his life. The Survivalist is a captivating thriller from BIFA Debut Director 2015 award-winner Stephen Fingleton and features stellar performances from Martin McCann ('71, Shadow Dancer, X+Y), Mia Goth (Nymphomaniac Part II, A Cure for Wellness) and Olwen Fouéré (This Must be the Place).
