Maria Bakalova and Peter Mullan Set To Star in Christmas Eve Suspense Thriller NO WAY OFF

Maria Bakalova (Bodies Bodies Bodies, The Apprentice) is set to star opposite Peter Mullan (Session 9, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power) in the upcoming suspense thriller No Way Off.

The movie is said to be inspired by single-location thrillers such as The Shallows, Buried, and Crawl, and it’s set on Christmas Eve.

The story revolves around Laura, “a young mother who waits at a bus stop with her infant son. When the bus pulls up, its driver is wearing a latex Santa mask. Laura climbs aboard, collapsing into her seat. Exhausted and stressed, she soon falls asleep.

“When Laura wakes, night has fallen. The bus is now hurtling along a motorway, miles off its usual route. Apart from the sleeping baby, she is the only passenger left on board. She can’t outrun the driver – she’ll have to outsmart him.”

The movie will be directed by Brian Kelly (Downton Abbey, Dracula), who said: “My dreams have come true. No Way Off has a brilliant cast and a killer script, I can’t wait to enjoy the ride.”

The script for the film comes from Gaby Hull and Matthew James Wilkinson (Yesterday) is producing. This sounds like it’ll make for an intense edge-of-your-seat movie.
