The Dreadful
In a country torn by war, survival comes at all costs… and darkness closes in.
Directed by Natasha Kermani
Produced by Black Magic, Redwire Pictures
A dark, melancholic medieval horror about survival and curse, where past trauma and supernatural dread converge to threaten a fragile household.
In medieval England, Anne and her domineering mother-in-law Morwen struggle to survive on the outskirts of society. But when a man from Anne's past returns from war, a curse begins to take shape through a mysterious knight and threatens to destroy them all.
