Xavier Gens, director of the insanely gory French slasher Frontier(s), as well as the post-apocalyptic thriller The Divide, is returning to horror with the thriller The Crucifixion, which was penned by The Conjuring writers Chad and Carey Hayes.
Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive clip from the film that will be releasing in theaters and On Demand platforms October 6, 2017, through Lionsgate. In it, a young reporter comes up behind a nun who grabs her by the throat and exclaims, “Leave us.” Us? It sounds as if the nun is possessed by a demon…
Inspired by true events, “When a priest is jailed for the murder of a nun on whom he was performing an exorcism, an investigative journalist strives to determine whether he in fact murdered a mentally ill person, or if he lost the battle with a demonic presence.” Sophie Cookson (Kingsman) stars with Brittany Ashworth.
The film premiered at last October’s Screamfest Film Festival in Los Angeles.
Peter Safran (Annabelle, The Conjuring) and the Hayes brothers produced The Crucifixion, with Lotus Entertainment’s Bill Johnson, Jim Seibel, D.J. Gugenheim and Ara Keshishian executive producing.
Here’s the trailer we previously debuted to go along with some imagery.
