‘The Banishing’ Director Turns To Religion For New Horror Film ‘Consecration’

Christopher Smith, whose film The Banishing landed on Shudder this past April, is back with his supernatural horror Consecration, which is being launched at Cannes, Variety reports. “The movie turns on events following the suspicious death of a priest, whose sister goes to the Mount Saviour Convent in Scotland to find out what really happened to her brother. There, she soon uncovers murder, sacrilege, and a disturbing truth about her own shadowy past that brings long-buried trauma to the surface.” Smith, who also directed Creep and Black Death, co-wrote the religious horror alongside Laurie Cook (The Banishing).
