There’s no turning back now in an exclusive to Collider clip forSacha Polak’s upcoming romantic drama,Silver Haze. The flames are about to blaze in this film about revenge and passion — and we don’t just mean in the metaphorical sense. In the sneak peek, viewers are introduced to the leading characters, Franky (Vicky Knight) and Florence (Esmé Creed-Miles), as they collect the supplies needed to carry out their fiery plot. First looking for lighter fluid at a corner store, the pair end up shifting their focus to some good ol’ fashioned gasoline before heading to their main target - a home on a quiet suburban street.With a Molotov cocktail in hand, Franky fully commits to her plan, hurling the bottle through the home’s front window.
Before the young women got to this point, they met under interesting circumstances as Franky was Florence’s nurse. Searching for the perfect man to accompany her through all of life’s ups and downs, Franky never expected to find all of those qualities in a woman andswiftly falls for Florence. Sadly, Franky’s loved ones are anything but accepting of her budding romance, so the pair travel to the coast of England to stay with Florence’s much more open family. Even with everything she’s ever wanted in her grasp,Franky can’t stop thinking about a traumatic incident from her past that shaped the course of her life. With her sights set on revenge, Franky steps into herself and takes healing into her own hands.
The production is the latest to come from Polak, whose 2019 filmDirty Godwas a big hit with critics. It also marked the first time the filmmaker worked with Knight, who would nab a BAFTA Breakthrough Brits award for her portrayal of a burn victim in what served as her feature-length debut.
