WARWICK, United Kingdom, Oct. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Filmmakers Craig and Carl Rees, through their company Rees Dragon Productions, are excited to announce the release of their latest thriller, The 8, now available on Amazon Video UK. Written by Carl Rees, The 8 is a gripping feature film inspired by the brothers' late mother and her love for Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected. The project, a true labour of love, was dedicated to her memory and has been in production since 2009, when their mother first fell ill.

The Rees brothers fondly recall watching Tales of the Unexpected with their parents, eagerly anticipating each twist in the classic episodes. They hope The 8 will evoke a similar sense of suspense and excitement in viewers.
