From director Daniel J. Phillips (Awoken), the possession horror movie Diabolic is headed to the American Film Market, and Deadline shares a first look image this morning (above).
Deadline notes, “First footage of the film will be unveiled to buyers by Film Bridge International’s After Dark label at the upcoming American Film Market in Las Vegas.”
The site details in today’s report, “The story revolves around a woman who participates in a healing ceremony conducted by the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS), aimed to relieve her of her unexplained blackouts. During the ceremony, they unwittingly unleash the demonic spirit of a witch, determined to take revenge on all those who have wronged her.”
Elizabeth Cullen (Elvis), John Harlan Kim (The Little Things), and Mia Challis (Outer Banks) star in the upcoming Diabolic, which was recently shot on location in Australia.
Mike Harding and Daniel J. Phillips wrote the screenplay.
“We’ve tried to imbue every frame with dread, and create something that audiences can really sink their teeth into. It’s relentless, unsettling, and everything I’ve ever wanted to bring to the horror genre,” said Phillips. “Get ready, because this is the kind of horror that stays with you.”
“Diabolic is precisely the kind of elevated, theatrical genre content our global customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge International’s Jordan Dykstra.
