RLJE Films and Shudder have released a poster and trailer for upcoming horror The Dark and the Wicked which follows a family on a secluded farm who begin to suspect that something evil is taking over their home. Written and directed by Bryan Bertino, the film stars Marin Ireland, Michael Abbott Jr. and Xander Berkeley.
On a secluded farm, a man is slowly dying. Bedridden and fighting through his final breaths, his wife is slowly succumbing to overwhelming grief. To help their mother and say goodbye to their father, siblings Louise (Marin Ireland) and Michael (Michael Abbott Jr.) return to their family farm. It doesn’t take long for them to see that something’s wrong with mom, though—something more than her heavy sorrow. Gradually, as their own grief mounts, Louise and Michael begin suffering from a darkness similar to their mother’s, marked by waking nightmares and a growing sense that something evil is taking over their family.
The Dark and the Wicked is set for release on November 6th.
