Suspense | Thriller Crime
Soon to be a major motion pictureβproduced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by J.A. Bayona REMAIN CALM DO NOT PANIC TAKE SHELTER WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS THE SITUATION IS UNDER CONTROL Society is rocked by a sudden increase in the number of violent assaults on individuals. Christened 'Haters' by the media, the attackers strike without warning, killing all who cross their path. The assaults are brutal, remorseless and extreme: within seconds, normally rational, self- controlled peopleΒ becomeΒ frenzied, vicious killers. There are no apparent links as a hundred random attacks become a thousand, then hundreds of thousands. Everyone, irrespective of gender, age, race or any other difference, has the potential to become a victim - or a Hater. People are afraid to go to work, afraid to leave their homes and, increasingly, afraid that at any moment their friends, even their closest family, could turn on them withΒ ultra violentΒ intent.Β Β Waking up each morning, no matter how well defended,Β everyone must now consider the fact that by the end of the day, they might be dead.Β Or perhaps worse,Β become aΒ killer themselves.Β As the status quo shifts, ATTACK FIRST,Β ASK QUESTIONS LATERΒ becomes the order of the day...Β Β only, the answers might beΒ much differentΒ than whatΒ you expect....
In the tradition of H. G. Wells and Richard Matheson, Hater is one manβs story of his place in a world gone madβ a world infected with fear, violence, and HATE.
