Barry Keoghan's Irish thriller Bring Them Down has confirmed a UK release date for next year alongside a teaser trailer.
The movie from director Christopher Andrews follows the isolated son of a farming family whose conflict with a rival family stirs violent tensions.
Distributor MUBI has now confirmed that the film will hit UK and Ireland cinemas on February 7, 2025.

The tense first teaser follows Keoghan and co-star Christopher Abbott – who plays lead character Michael – in action, as the Saltburn star's character Jack is encouraged to kill the rival farmer's animals.
"You know what they say… where there's livestock, there's deadstock," Jack declares, as we are given a sense of the violence to come, including cars being smashed and shotguns being pointed at people.
What to Read Next
The full synopsis reads: "Michael, the last son of a farming family, lives an isolated existence with his ailing, cantankerous father Ray. Burdened by a terrible secret from his past, Michael has isolated himself from the world and dedicates himself to his prized flock.

"When the ongoing conflict with rival farmer Gary and his wayward and unpredictable son Jack stirs old tensions and grievances, it triggers a chain of events that take increasingly violent and devastating turns, leaving both families permanently altered."
Bring Them Down also stars Layer Cake's Colm Meaney, Brooklyn's Nora-Jane Noone, Motherland's Paul Ready and Enduring Love's Susan Lynch.
The movie screened at the BFI London Film Festival last month, with Digital Spy awarding the film three stars.
"Although the plot feels insufficient at times, the themes of generational trauma, toxic masculinity and tradition against modernity are delivered with brutal efficiency if not always depth or precision," we wrote.
Bring Them Down will be released in UK and Ireland cinemas on February 7, 2025.
