An official selection of FrightFest, it was announced today that Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired U.S. rights to The Last Rite, a new exorcism horror film that’s said to be rooted in writer-director Leroy Kincaide‘s love of The Amityville Horror, Poltergeist, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. It’s scheduled for release on November 26th, Bloody Disgusting learned.
In the film…
“A medical student suffering from sleep paralysis finds herself plagued by a demonic entity hell-bent on ripping her apart.
“With time running out and the dark force consuming her from within, Lucy is left with no alternative but to seek help from a local priest, But Father Roberts has a dilemma – does he obey orders or help Lucy by conducting his own exorcism against the will of the church?”
It stars Johnny Fleming, Bethan Waller, and Tara Hoyos-Martinez.
Set to have its World premiere at Arrow Video FrightFest on Saturday, August 28 at the Cineworld, Leicester Sq., the Nocturnal Pictures-produced film looks to give homage to The Exorcist, while also mixing in some more recent social commentary. It’s said to be based on Kincaide’s own real-life experiences with the paranormal.
