Coming soon to theaters and VOD from Dark Sky Films and director Dean Puckett (The Sermon) is a new folk horror film: The Severed Sun. The film stars Toby Stephens (Black Sails – TV Series), Emma Appleton (The Witcher – TV Series), and Barney Harris (Brighton Beach).
Synopsis
In the heart of an isolated religious community, The Pastor delivers his fervent sermons to a devoted congregation. But dark secrets fester. In the depths of the forest, The Pastor’s daughter, Magpie, takes desperate action, ending the life of her abusive husband. Little does she know, his murder will unleash a malevolent force—a mysterious beast with shimmering white eyes.
As weeks pass, suspicion and paranoia grip the community, with accusatory fingers pointed at Magpie. The Pastor struggles to restore Magpie’s dwindling faith, and he is unable to bring her back into “The Truth.” Faith is fragile, and Magpie is hell bent on rebelling against the hypocrisy of her father.
When the Beast leaves a trail of gruesome carnage, a brutal witch hunt ignites. In this gripping tale of faith, fear, and the darkness within, friendships crumble, loyalties are tested, and the community hurtles toward self-destruction.
