The supernatural thriller stars Ed Stoppard and Sophia Myles as a history professor and his wife who move to a large country house, Blackwood, with their eight year old son (Isaac Andrews). The husband has visions of a masked boy, and starts investigating a mysterious disappearance that may involve a war veteran (Russell Tovey). The family’s life gets further complicated with the arrival of an old friend (Greg Wise) and his beautiful girlfriend (Joanna Vanderham).
Matthew blames himself for the mysterious disappearance of his younger brother Tom. He was partying at his London council flat when Tom went missing. With police at a dead end, Matthew starts hearing chilling voices on the recording of a news conference and begins questioning his sanity. Blamed and ignored by his troubled father, he visits a clairvoyant who reveals a history of missing children in the area. When his best friend Simon’s sister is also abducted, the ghostly voices guide him to the shocking truth. For in an underground labyrinth he is confronted by a satanic killer and terrifying knowledge that dark forces are manipulating destiny. In the tradition of The Omen and The 6th Sense comes a superbly acted and thrilling British supernatural shocker. Bound to attract critical attention and key awards, The Disappeared will put debut director Johnny Kevorkian on the genre map as a major discovery.
Wildcard Films has started principal photography on Adam Wimpenny’s debut feature Blackwood, which is shooting in and around London in December and January, says Screen Daily.
