The ‘Sacrifice’ Trailer is Like An Investigation Behind ‘Wicker Man’

Published

on

Fans of The Wicker Man should be intrigued by the trailer for Peter A. Dowling’s thriller Sacrifice, heading to New York theaters and VOD on April 29th via IFC.

In the trailer, Radha Mitchell (Rogue, The Darkness, Pitch Black, Silent Hill) investigates a mysterious cult after a freshly sacrificed body is uncovered.

Disturbing secrets lie buried in the bogs of a remote island in this spellbinding thriller. Shortly after surgeon Tora Hamilton (Radha Mitchell) moves with her husband (Rupert Graves) to the Shetland Islands – 100 miles off the coast of Scotland – she makes an unnerving discovery: the body of a young woman with strange symbols carved into her flesh and her heart ripped out. When what at first appears to be the remains of a victim of an ancient ritual turns out to be a fresh corpse, Tora is plunged into a dangerous mystery that may be connected to the dark myths of the island’s folklore.

Rupert Graves (The Madness of King George, V For Vendetta, Made in Dagenham) also stars.
