OUT OF BOUNDS preceeded by THE DEVIL'S APPRENTICE FRIDAY 31 OCTOBER AT 9:15PM UGC SHAFTESBURY AVE SCREEN 2
Louise (Sophia Myles), a nubile eighteen-year-old at Lady Margaret Oakes School for Girls, is enjoying her romance with Matt, a sexy older man who is the art professor at the school. The only problem is that the romance is a duplicitous affair and Matt's wife is the stoic headmaster of the school, Veronica (Sophie Ward). Unable to bear the thought of leaving her lover over the term break, Louise convinces Veronica to let her stay in the deserted dorms of the boarding school. The two lovers regret their carelessness when Veronica discovers them in the throes of passion. Matt breaks it off and after a fearsome fracas, disappears to Florence - or so Veronica tells Louise. Haunted by nightmares accompanying her awkward isolation with Veronica, Louise grows suspicious of Matt's absence. One night, awakened by a troubled sleep, Louise thinks she hears Matt calling to her. She sees him from her window and rushes to greet him, only to realize that her eyes were deceived. A sinister friend of Veronica's creeping round the corridors doesn't help to soothe Louise's fears either. Thoughtfully conceived and thrillingly executed Out of Bounds blazes through unexpected twists and turns and tiptoes through eerie silences.
