More than three and a half years have gone by since it was first announced that William Brent Bell – the director of Stay Alive, The Devil Inside, Wer, The Boy, Brahms: The Boy II, Separation, and Orphan: First Kill – would be making a folk horror film called Lord of Misrule. Two years have gone by since we heard the movie was in production, with filming taking place in Hertfordshire, UK. Now a trailer for Lord of Misrule has finally made its way online, and with that comes the news that the film will be receiving a theatrical and VOD release on December 8th. So check out the trailer in the embed above to see if this looks like a movie you’d want to watch in a couple months!
Starring Tuppence Middleton (Mank), Lord of Misrule was scripted by Tom de Ville and follows Rebecca Holland, who has recently taken over the parish church. When her young daughter goes missing at a winter festival, villagers and local police join in the desperate search. However, the closer they edge towards finding the girl, the more secrets emerge from the town’s dark past; soon Rebecca must decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to rescue her daughter from the grip of evil.
Middleton is joined in the cast by Ralph Ineson (The Witch), Evie Templeton (Life After Life), and Matt Stokoe (Outlaw King).
Lord of Misrule is coming to us from REP Productions and Riverstone Pictures, as well as Bigscope Films and The Machine Room. The producers are Deepak Nayar and Nik Bower of Riverstone, Jason Newmark and Laurie Cooke of Bigscope, Alison Brister of REP Productions, Bell (producing through The Machine Room), and James Tomlinson. REP Productions funded the project alongside BCP Asset Management. Magnet Releasing is handling the December release.
Bell had this to say about his latest film: “It is so rare to find such well-developed, culturally relevant, and beautifully dark material as Lord of Misrule. Tom de Ville’s wicked script has given us the foundation to build the kind of talented cast and crew who will bring to life a film that will haunt audiences for years to come.“
