Ahead of its US theatrical release later this month, a poster and trailer have arrived online for the French Gothic fantasy horror The Vourdalak.
Directed by Adrien Beau, the film is adapted from Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy’s 1839 novella The Family of the Vourdalak and follows a noble emissary of the King of France as he seeks refuge in the manor of a strange family after being abandoned on the countryside. Sink your teeth into the trailer below…
When the Marquis d’Urfé, a noble emissary of the King of France, is attacked and abandoned in the remote countryside, he finds refuge at an eerie, isolated manor. The resident family, reluctant to take him in, exhibits strange behavior as they await the imminent return of their father, Gorcha. But what begins simply as strange quickly devolves into a full fledged nightmare when Gorcha returns, seemingly no longer himself…
Adapted from a novella that predates Bram Stoker’s Dracula by over half a century, The Vourdalak is an atmospheric, unexpected, sensorial experience that will leave you reeling and giddy in equal measure.
The Vourdalak arrives in cinemas on June 28th in the US.
