Last September at the Toronto International Film Festival, Peter Strickland‘s horror film In Fabric world premiered, the film set during a department store’s winter sale where customers – from a lonely divorcee (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) to the wife (Hayley Squires) of a washing machine repairman – end up cursed by a scarlet dress that corrupts their lives.
Now, A24 is set to release In Fabric on December 6, 2019, according to the film’s website.
In Fabric tells the story of a lonely woman, played by Jean-Baptiste who visits a London department store in search of a dress that will transform her life.
“She’s fitted with a perfect, dark red gown that unleashes a malevolent curse and unstoppable evil, threatening everyone that comes into its path.”
Joe Lipsett reviewed In Fabric for us at TIFF, awarding it 4/5 stars and writing that the film “dresses up a simple tale to haunting effect.”
