Directed by Nour Wazzi and written by Rowan Joffe, Locked in offers a thrilling and enigmatic cinematic experience that will leave audiences captivated and breathless.

The plot centers on a tense and difficult relationship between Lina, played by Rose Williams, and her enigmatic mother-in-law, Katherine, played by the talented Famke Janssen. In the background, an illicit affair paves the way for a web of secrets, betrayal and murder. The story promises a roller-coaster ride of emotions, with viewers perpetually on the edge and wanting to know more at every turn.

Famke Janssen, famous for her roles in X-Men and GoldenEye, plays Katherine, a mother-in-law suffering from locked-in syndrome. Her nurse, played by Anna Friel, becomes embroiled in the mystery as she seeks to uncover the truth behind Katherine's condition. Rose Williams plays Lina, a young bride trapped in a treacherous web of secrets and lies, both past and present.

The creative team behind Locked In is nothing short of exceptional.
