An official selection of FrightFest, we now have the first teaser trailer for 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.
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.
