“Every year we drive him out, but he stands in the fields and waits…” Magnolia Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror film titled Lord of Misrule, the latest film from director William Brent Bell (of The Boy, Brahms: The Boy II, Orphan: First Kill previously). This is set for a release in December, direct to VOD for everyone to watch. When the daughter of the town’s new priest goes missing during the harvest festival, a desperate search begins, uncovering the town’s dark history and resurfacing tales of a mysterious, malevolent spirit that demands sacrifice. Yet another horror flick with masked mysteries, and unruly townsfolk who don’t want to look into the darker sides. Starring Tuppence Middleton as Rebecca, Ralph Ineson, Matt Stokoe, Evie Templeton, Alexa Goodall, Anton Valensi, Rosalind March, and David Langham. All the masks in this film are seriously creepy, just wonder the rest of it is any good.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for William Brent Bell’s Lord of Misrule, direct from YouTube:
