Bloody Disgusting has the first look image from contemporary folk horror Lord of Misrule, hailing from William Brent Bell, the filmmaker behind The Devil Inside, The Boy, Brahms, and the recent Orphan prequel.
“Lord of Misrule is a pagan horror story set in a rural English village, where Rebecca Holland has recently taken over the parish church. When her young daughter goes missing at a winter festival, villagers and local police join in the desperate search.
“However, the closer they edge towards finding the girl, the more secrets emerge from the town’s dark past; soon Rebecca must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to rescue her daughter from the grip of evil.”
When announced, Tom de Ville‘s (The Quiet Ones) script was said to echo The Wicker Man and Midsommar.
It stars Tuppence Middleton (“Sense8”, Jupiter Ascending) and The Witch‘s Ralph Ineson with Matt Stokoe (Outlaw King).
Bankside is handling sales at AFM. Thanks to Fabien M. for sending.
