Directed by Myles McEwen and Ripley Stevens, the Australian horror movie Effigy has wrapped production, and Variety shares a couple of first look images with us this week.
Effigy is set in 1989 England and follows the Marsh family as they endure a violent haunting sparked by the unearthing of a mysterious effigy doll.
An entity behind the disturbance grows increasingly fixated on the family’s daughter, prompting two paranormal investigators to dig into what becomes a traumatic case.
Variety notes, “The film carries a psychosexual undertone and touches on depression, identity and faith.”
Chris Gun stars alongside Lauren Koopowitz, David Daradan, and Saya Kraetzer.
Myles McEwen said in a statement, “We poured our hearts and souls into this one. We followed a standard storytelling model and chose to explore a depression that many of us can relate to. Through this, there’s a genuine heartbeat and soul that emerged from the film. We shot and designed the film to feel straight out of 1989, capturing the magic of cinema from that era.”
Effigy is coming soon from Black Mandala Films. Stay tuned for more.
