In the wake of last year’s fun horror-comedy Willy’s Wonderland, Kevin Lewis is back with The Accursed, starring Mena Suvari starring and set for release in theaters and on various VOD platforms on October 14th. People can learn more here.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at the eye-catching poster and sinister trailer premiere in which the horror comes from within. “Hell Lives Here,” boasts the one-sheet, which features an arm coming out of an old woman’s mouth.
In the film…
Elly (Sarah Grey) is asked by a family friend (Mena Suvari) to spend a few days looking after an elderly woman (Meg Foster) living in a remote cabin. She readily agrees thinking a short trip to the woods will be a nice escape. The cabin turns out to be anything but relaxing as Elly begins hallucinating in ways that blur reality with her dreams. As the visions take over, Elly realizes that she was lured there by a demonic presence hiding inside of the woman just waiting to break free.
“Coming off the amazing insanity that was Willy’s Wonderland (how do you top a non-verbal Cage performance?), I wanted to do something very different, with much more gravity,” Kevin Lewis tells Bloody Disgusting. “This movie is really about how the sins of the mothers are re-visited upon their daughters, which also gave me the opportunity to work with an incredible all-female cast.
“This film is inspired by great true horror gems like Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, and The Changeling. Where Willy’s Wonderland was a salute to the 80s, this is my love letter to vintage horror from the 70s.”
