Christopher Smith’s THE BANISHING is released in UK Cinemas and on Digital Platforms 26th March 2021.
Britflicks Podcast Host and screenwriter Stuart Wright talks with Chris Smith (Creep, Triangle, Detour) about his horror movie THE BANISHING.
At Frightfest 2020, Britflicks concluded: "THE BANISHING is a classy, period horror that oozes confidence in the directorial choices of genre master Chris Smith. This kind of creepy story, emanating from past dirty-deeds, generations ago, coupled with such a strong cast of oddball characters is what British horror does best."
THE BANISHING hits UK Cinemas & Digital Platforms 26th March 2021, courtesy of Vertigo Releasing.
Synopsis: 1930s, England. Linus, his wife Marianne and their daughter Adelaide move into town, where Linus has been posted as the new reverend. He’s been tasked by the Church to renew the villagers’ faith, which has been lost after the disappearance of the previous reverend’s family, who lived in the very same mysterious manor where Linus and his family have settled into. Soon after their arrival, strange events start to occur: ghostly voices, dark figures dressed as monks, mysterious totems, and Adelaide’s behavior becoming stranger by the day. It soon becomes clear that a malicious entity seeks to possess Adelaide and that the Church is hiding a terrible secret…
THE BANISHING is written by Dean Lines & Ray Bogdanovich, and stars Jessica Brown Findlay, Sean Harris, John Lynch & John Heffernan.
THE BANISHING will also stream on Shudder from 15th April 2021.
