The highly anticipated supernatural thriller, Borley Rectory: The Awakening, is preparing to unleash its chilling tale this October. Based on the true events of the most haunted house in England, the film is led by legendary actors Julian Glover and Patsy Kensit.

The film transports viewers back to 1900. Young Reverend Henry Bull and his sister, Kitty, inherit the duties at the family’s infamous home. What begins as a change in residence soon devolves into a desperate struggle against intense paranormal activity. As a demonic intrusion threatens their mother and sisters, the Bulls are forced to call upon a family friend to help discover the sinister origins of the ghosts haunting Borley Rectory.

Borley Rectory: The Awakening brings together a stellar cast anchored by two iconic screen veterans. Julian Glover is known for landmark roles in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and For Your Eyes Only. Patsy Kensit also stars. She is known for her performances in Lethal Weapon 2 and Absolute Beginners.

Rounding out the talented ensemble are Mark Wingett (Quadrophenia), Vicki Michelle (‘ Allo ‘Allo), Helen Lederer (Absolutely Fabulous), and Simon Phillips. Newcomers Jess Inchbald, Corneille Dion Williams, Charlotte Luxford, Jenna Wilson, and Lora Hristova round out the cast. 

The spine-tingling film is directed by Steven M. Smith (whose previous works include The Ghosts of Borley Rectory). Smith also co-wrote the screenplay with Christopher Jolley.

Borley Rectory: The Awakening promises an unsettling mix of ghostly apparitions and suspense that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The film, from Greenway Entertainment, arrives on digital in the USA on October 7th. The UK release will follow on DVD and digital release on October 13th.
