Earlier in the week, we brought along a gloomy and disturbing clip from Osgood Perkins’ FEBRUARY; today we bring you a gloomy and disturbing trailer for the thriller, which revolves around satanic rituals, murders and prep school girls. How can a movie about those things look so depressing?! (To be fair, it also looks pretty gripping.)
FEBRUARY stars Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Boynton, James Remar, Lauren Holly and Emma Roberts. Here’s what it’s about:
Kat (Kiernan Shipka, Mad Men) and Rose (Lucy Boynton) are in different grades at a prestigious prep school for girls, where they are stranded after their parents mysteriously fail to retrieve them for winter break. Meanwhile, a haunted young woman, Joan (Emma Roberts), makes a bloody pilgrimage across a frozen landscape toward the school. As Joan gets closer, Kat is plagued by increasingly terrifying visions, and Rose can only look on in horror as her younger schoolmate becomes possessed by an unseen evil force.
FEBRUARY is currently doing the festival rounds (it screens at TIFF this weekend and Beyond Fest next month); it’ll likely be released in 2016.
