THE LITTLE STRANGER tells the story of Dr. Faraday, the son of a housemaid, who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline and its inhabitants – mother, son and daughter – are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how disturbingly, the family’s story is about to become entwined with his own.
Based on the 2009 gothic novel of the same name written by Sarah Waters, THE LITTLE STRANGER stars Domhnall Gleeson (EX MACHINA), Ruth Wilson (SAVING MR. BANKS), Will Poulter (THE MAZE RUNNER), and Charlotte Rampling (SWIMMING POOL). Lenny Abrahamson (FRANK, ROOM) will direct from a script by Lucinda Coxon while Gail Egan, Ed Guiney, and Andrea Calderwood will produce.
THE LITTLE STRANGER will aim to deliver a chilling supernatural tale to cinemas beginning on August 31st.
