The new trailer for upcoming Neil Marshall-directed horror movie The Reckoning has been released by Shudder ahead of its release on the platform in April. The film premiered at FrightFest last year (where we caught it) and it looks like the film will receive its audience on Shudder from 15th April.
Neil Marshall returns to the genre that made his name, reuniting with Dog Soldiers star Sean Pertwee, and featuring a striking lead performance from Charlotte Kirk (who also co-wrote the script) as a widow accused of being a witch.
Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of the Great Plague and subsequent witch-hunts against women, Grace Haverstock (Charlotte Kirk) must grapple with the tragic untimely death of her husband Joseph (Joe Anderson) in a society completely consumed by fear and death. Because she rejects her landlord Squire Pendleton’s (Steven Waddington) advances, she is falsely accused of being a witch and thrown in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. Grace must endure physical persecution at the hands of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter Judge Moorcroft (Sean Pertwee) and face her own inner demons as the Devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.
We said that the film is a ‘welcome return to the horror fold for Neil Marshall who once more proves himself to be a talented and articulate filmmaker. Our full review can be viewed at the end of the link above.
