“Let the Badness Out.”
A nun mutters this as Jena Malone (The Ruins, The Neon Demon) finds her after a chase through the dark in an exclusive clip from Consecration. What follows gets macabre and unsettles her, but did it happen at all?
One thing is clear; there’s something seriously amiss at this convent. And more ominously, what is the badness that needs letting out?
The clip teases the latest mind-bending horror from Triangle, Black Death, and The Banishing director Christopher Smith. The psychological, convent-set horror film releases in theaters on February 10, 2023.
In Consecration, “Grace (Malone) goes to the Mount Saviour Convent in Scotland to find out what was behind the suspicious death of her brother, a priest. She is initially helped by Father Romero (Huston), but she soon comes to distrust the account of the church as she uncovers murder, sacrilege, and a disturbing truth about her own shadowy past that brings long-buried trauma to the surface.”
Consecration stars Malone, Danny Huston (30 Days of Night, “American Horror Story”), Thoren Ferguson (“The Midwich Cuckoos”), and Janet Suzman. Christopher Smith co-wrote the script with Laurie Cook.
Previously, Smith described the project as “a film about the nature of religion and how defining one thing as divine creates a false opposite that is heretical.”
He added: “This film is an opportunity to take the audience on a thrilling journey into the dark unknown, and I want to really push that to the limit both in terms of scares and the psychology of the main characters.
The film is produced by Jason Newmark, Xavier Marchand, Casey Herbert, and Stuart Ford and is being distributed by IFC Films and Shudder.
Check out the heretical poster and exclusive clip below and look for the IFC Films and Shudder release to arrive in theaters this Friday, followed by a digital release on March 3, 2023.
