‘Emerald Cottage’ Trailer – ‘Cobra Kai’s Sean Kanan Stars in British Folk Horror Film [Exclusive]
From the British countryside comes the psychological folk horror tale Emerald Cottage, and we have the exclusive trailer below.
Set in post-World War II England, the film follows Nancy, an undertaker’s assistant who travels to a rural cottage to look after the body of a young girl who has died in mysterious circumstances.
Alone with the corpse, Nancy sets about preparing her for the wake — only to discover that things aren’t quite what they seem as unsettling truths about the girl’s death are revealed.
Sean Kanan (The Karate Kid Part III, “Cobra Kai”) stars alongside Charlotte Wallis and Kitty Sudbery.
Drawing influence from Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in their favoring of dread over gore, Jason M.J. Brown directs from a script he co-wrote with Peter Watson.
“Emerald Cottage channels the suffocating unease of horror; the patience, the atmosphere, the haunting silence, firmly in the soil of the British countryside,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “Folk horror meets psychological terror, creating something chillingly new.”
Emerald Cottage is currently being actively pitched for distribution, so keep an eye out for it later this year.
A hospital stay grows more nerve-frazzling when memory loss distorts reality in our exclusive clip from This Tempting Madness, inspired by a true story.
The mind-bending psychological thriller will be released in select theaters and on demand on June 12 via Vertical.
Simone Ashley (“Bridgerton”) stars as Mia, who awakens from a coma, grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions and her perception of reality.
In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
