We’ve just received word that supernatural Blumhouse horror, The Vigil will be released on digital platforms from the 30th November 2020 in the UK and Ireland, and on DVD on 4th January 2021 through Vertigo Releasing.
From Blumhouse (the producers of Halloween and Insidious), The Vigil is the startling debut feature from Keith Thomas.
The Vigil is set over the course of a long, dark night in Brooklyn’s Hassidic “Boro” Park neighbourhood, following Yakov (Dave Davis, True Detective), a former Hassid, who has lost his faith, and isn’t eager to go back to the insular religious community he only recently fled. But when Reb Shulem (Menashe Lustig), a rabbi and confidante, approaches Yakov and offers to pay him to be the shomer (watching over the dead body of a community member) for a recently deceased Holocaust survivor, he reluctantly accepts the job. Shortly after arriving at the dilapidated house, Yakov realises that something is very, very wrong. This will not be a quiet vigil.
We’ve not got sight of the bonus materials for the DVD as yet but we’ll keep you posted.
