Filmmaker Keith Thomas will see his festival hit The Vigil released in UK cinemas on July 17th through Vertigo, and we’re still waiting on Blumhouse’s release date here in the States.
While we wait, Vertigo has debuted their official trailer. Find it below.
Joe Lipsett reviewed The Vigil out of its premiere in TIFF’s Midnight Madness program, a film in which a man providing overnight watch to a deceased member of his former Orthodox Jewish community finds himself opposite a malevolent entity.
In his review, Lipsett wrote that The Vigil is “a fresh take on the religious/demon possession horror film” that “feels like a breath of fresh air.“
“Set over the course of a single evening in Brooklyn’s Hassidic “Boro” Park neighborhood, The Vigil follows Yakov, a former Hassid, as he accepts a position as a shomer, hired to “sit the vigil” and watch over the body of a deceased community member. Having lost his faith, Yakov isn’t eager to go back to the insular religious community he only recently fled. But when Reb Shulem, a rabbi and confidante, approaches Yakov after a support group meeting and offers to pay Yakov to be the shomer for a recently deceased Holocaust survivor, he reluctantly accepts the job. Shortly after arriving at the dilapidated house, Yakov realizes that something is very, very wrong. This will not be a quiet vigil.”
The film stars Adam Margules, Dave Davis, Menashe Lustig, Malky Goldman, Lynn Cohen, and Fred Melamed. It was produced by JD Lifshitz and Raphael Margules at Boulderlight and Adam Margules of Angry Adam Productions.
