Neil Marshall's (The Descent, Dog Soldiers, Game of Thrones) career hit a bump in the road thanks to his infamously terrible Hellboy reboot, but the director has now returned to the horror genre for RLJE and Shudder's creepy-looking period chiller, The Reckoning.
The movie stars Charlotte Kirk (you can Google the British actress' controversial history with Marshall at your leisure) as a young woman falsely(?) accused of witchcraft in 17th century England before being locked away to await her "trial."
As a ruthless witch-hunter (Sean Pertwee) sets about extracting a confession, it soon becomes clear that there is something supernatural at play after all.
Check out the trailer below along with a new poster, and let us know what you think in the comments.
After losing her husband during the Great Plague, Grace Haverstock (Charlotte Kirk) is unjustly accused of being a witch and placed in the custody of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter, Judge Moorcroft (Sean Pertwee). Forced to endure physical and emotional torture while steadfastly maintaining her innocence, Grace must face her own inner demons as the Devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.
The Reckoning is set to hit theaters, On Demand and Digital on February 5, 2021.
