From director Jo Shaffer comes the paranoia-fueled cult horror film Hell is Empty, starring Spencer Peppet, Nia Farrell, Travis Mitchell, Laura Resinger, Meredith Antonian, Liam Ouweleen, and AYA.
In Hell Is Empty, a self-styled messiah initiates a lost soul into his cult of sister-wives on an Edenic island, upsetting the delicate balance of a utopian community fixated on sin and salvation. Combining edge-of-your-seat suspense with arthouse flair, the horror-thriller follows two teenage runaways who become increasingly suspicious of the cult leader’s absolutist vision. When Lydia arrives on the island, Saratoga is eight months pregnant with his child—the supposed “son of God.” As the makeshift family descends into paranoia and violence, Lydia and Saratoga plot a daring escape that transforms them from outcasts to avengers.
Written by Shaffer and Adam DeSantes, Hell is Empty will be available on Digital and On-Demand March 1, 2022, from 1091 Pictures.
