Steve Oram is heading into far darker territory than usual in Crushed, Simon Rumley’s new psychological thriller about a vicar forced to confront the limits of his faith after his young daughter is abducted. Following a festival run that included FrightFest 2025, the film will make its UK digital debut on 5 October through GrimmVision.
Oram, known for Sightseers, The End of the F**ing World* and DI Ray, stars as Daniel, an English vicar living in the suburbs of Bangkok with his wife May, played by May Nattaporn Rawddon, and their 10-year-old daughter Olivia, played by Margaux Dietrich.
Their apparently peaceful life is shattered after Olivia is exposed to a disturbing animal cruelty video, setting off a chain of events that ends with her abduction. As Daniel and May search for their daughter, the couple are forced into an increasingly desperate confrontation with violence, exploitation and their own moral boundaries.
