‘The Witch in the Window’ Peeks Through This First Poster
Bloody Disgusting recently shared the xclusive trailer premiere for writer-director Andy Mitton’s (We Go On, YellowBrickRoad) ghost story The Witch in the Window, which is set to have its World Premiere at next month’s Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal before heading to FrightFest in August. Now, check out this brand new piece of art.
“The film focuses on separated father Simon and his estranged twelve-year-old son, Finn, who head to Vermont to repair an old farmhouse and encounter the malicious spirit of a previous owner, an infamously cruel woman named Lydia. With every repair Simon makes, he’s also making her spirit stronger…until a terrifying encounter leaves him doubting whether he can protect his son from the evil that’s making its way into their heads, and hearts.”
Alex Draper (Yellowbrickroad), Arija Bareikis (The Purge) and Charlie Tacker star. Producers are Mitton with Richard W. King. Clark Freeman served as Executive Producer.
Shudder previously acquired the film for UK, US, Canada, Germany, Australia and New Zealand out of the Cannes market.
