After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall, IFC Midnight is bringing first-time filmmaker Ruth Paxton‘s A Banquet to theaters and VOD platforms next month. Bloody has an exclusive look at brand new art that offers a difficult choice: family or famine?
Described as “a slow-burning psychological horror that layers apocalyptic elements underneath familial tensions of three generations of mothers and daughters,” A Banquet is coming to select theaters and on digital platforms on February 18.
In A Banquet…
“Widowed mother Holly (Sienna Guillory) is radically tested when her teenage daughter Betsey (Jessica Alexander) experiences a profound enlightenment and insists that her body is no longer her own, but in service to a higher power. Bound to her newfound faith, Betsey refuses to eat but loses no weight. In an agonizing dilemma, torn between love and fear, Holly is forced to confront the boundaries of her own beliefs.” Ruby Stokes and Lindsay Duncan also star.
Justin Bull wrote the script for A Banquet.
