UK cinema-goers will be able to check writer/director Nick Murphy’s new chiller ‘The Awakening’ when it hits theatres this coming Friday. And to tease our international readers you’ll just have to settle for the new Italian one-sheet revealed by the IMP Awards. Dominic West (“The Wire”) and Imelda Staunton (‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’) co-star alongside the delectable Miss Rebecca Hall (‘The Town’, ‘The Prestige’) in this spooky tale that takes place in a British boarding school during the 1920’s. Check out the new poster below and book your tickets now for Friday’s opening you lucky people.
“Haunted by the death of her fiancé, Florence Cathcart is on a mission to expose all séances as exploitative shams. However, when she is called to a boys’ boarding school to investigate a case of the uncanny, she is gradually forced to confront her skepticism in the most terrifying way, shaking her scientific convictions and her sense of self to the very core. Haunting and moving in equal measure, The Awakening is a sophisticated psychological/supernatural thriller in the tradition of The Others and The Orphanage, but with its own unique and thrilling twist.”
‘The Awakening’ opens in UK theatres this Friday!
