Magnet Releasing has acquired all rights to the indie horror Agnes, which hails from up-and-coming genre filmmaker Mickey Reece, director of the excellent Climate of the Hunter.
In this go-around, “Reece tells the story of a young nun named Sister Agnes who shows signs of a possible demonic possession.
“As the nun’s behavior gets stranger and stranger, the church sends in a priest and his young mentee to help. But initial attempts to exorcise whatever is haunting Sister Agnes backfire, and they’re soon convinced that the entity is much more sinister than they thought.”
The film stars Molly Quinn (who starred as Mrs. Grady in Doctor Sleep) alongside Jake Horowitz, Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), Hayley McFarland, Chris Browning, Ben Hall, Mary Buss, and Chris Sullivan.
Agnes premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. It will next screen at Fantastic Fest, followed by a theatrical and on-demand release December 10, reports Deadline.
Here’s the trailer, courtesy of MovieMaker, that feels like a Nunsploitation take on The Exorcist.
