Michael Pearce‘s science fiction thriller ‘Encounter’ received stellar reviews at its world premiere on September 3, 2021, at the just-concluded 48th Telluride Film Festival. Now we have confirmed news about when the film will land on streaming in India. Encounter will release worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on 10th December, 2021. Since it’s a worldwide release, the film will arrive on Indian shores on the same date.
Encounter is headlined by rising star, Riz Ahmed, who plays a decorated former Marine, and father of two young sons in the film. Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer joins him as a parole officer. Janina Gavankar, Rory Cochrane, Lucian-River Chauhan and Aditya Geddada comprise the rest of the cast. Michael Pearce has directed the film, from a script he co-wrote with Joe Barton.
‘Encounter‘ is a creepy drama about extra-terrestrial parasites that invade the bodies of earthlings, and take control over them. After his wife (Janina Gavankar) gets infected, it’s a fight for survival for ex-marine Malik Kahn (Riz Ahmed), who must keep his two young sons safe.
The official synopsis of ‘Encounter’ from Amazon Prime Video reads,
“A decorated Marine goes on a rescue mission to save his two young sons from a mysterious threat. As their journey takes them in increasingly dangerous directions, the boys will need to leave their childhoods behind.”
Encounter premieres on Amazon Prime Video on 10th December. It will have a limited release in select theatres before that, on 3rd December.
