RLJE and Shudder recently nabbed the rights to Master of Horror Neil Marshall‘s new film The Reckoning, set against the backdrop of England at the end of the 17th century as the Great Plague rages. We’ve got the brutal new trailer for the film that looks absolutely amazing.
In the film, “After losing her husband during the Great Plague, Grace Haverstock (Charlotte Kirk) is unjustly accused of being a witch and placed in the custody of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter, Judge Moorcroft (Sean Pertwee). Forced to endure physical and emotional torture while steadfastly maintaining her innocence, Grace must face her own inner demons as the Devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.”
Joe Anderson and Steven Waddington also star in the film that Marshall wrote with Charlotte Kirk and Edward Evers-Swindell, based on a story by Antony Jones and Nico Evers-Swindell.
Marshall has a long list of genre hits including The Descent, Dog Soldiers, and Doomsday, as well as “Game of Thrones.”We expect The Reckoning to be no different.
The Reckoning will open in theaters and arrive On Demand and Digital on February 5, 2021.
