Revolver Entertainment is proud to announce its newest acquisition, TONY. This critically acclaimed British horror film is brought to you by the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund, executive producer Paul Abbott, the creator of STATE OF PLAY and SHAMELESS, and exciting newcomer director Gerard Johnson.

Tony's odd lifestyle begins to attract attention when a local child goes missing-- will Tony's secrets be exposed?
