Caught Inside

Jealousy and romantic rivalry turns dangerous on the high seas in this drama from Australia. Bull (Ben Oxenbould) is a burly but charismatic surfer who has organized a dream vacation for himself and his friends -- twelve days aboard a yacht headed for the Maldive Islands, where Bull knows some outstanding and little known surf spots. While Bull and his buddies have traveled together before, this time is different -- Toobs (Simon Lyndon) has opted to bring along his girlfriend Alex (Leeana Walsman), and she in turn has invited her friend Sam (Daisy Betts) to tag along. Bull is attracted to Sam, but she's more interested in Rob (Sam Lyndon), whose approach is less aggressive. Bull doesn't care to take no for an answer and when he tries to force himself upon Sam, it leads to a standoff between him and the rest of the passengers. When his friends turn against him, Bull sinks into a rage that turns violent. Caught Inside was the first feature film from director Adam Blaiklock, and received its North American premiere at the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival.
