Angel Visits Spark Psychological Horror
14 Feb
Summary
- A young woman is stuck at home, visited by an angel.
- The film is a slow-burn psychological horror with religious themes.
- It's compared to horror films like Saint Maud and The Lodge.
A new psychological horror film is in development, focusing on a young woman named Layla who finds herself confined to her childhood home. Her sister, Abigail, claims to be experiencing visits from an angel.
The project is being crafted as a slow-burn psychological horror, leaning heavily into the religious horror subgenre. Directors Gallagher and Lewis cite films such as "Saint Maud," "The Lodge," and "Possession" as inspirations for the film's tone and thematic exploration.
Gallagher and Lewis, who are producing the film, are drawn to stories that push characters outside their comfort zones. They aim to explore how psychological disruption can create personal space for horror, particularly within the realm of religious themes, which Gallagher finds to be the scariest. The film will star Sara Hallisey and Hayley Gasbarro, with a cameo from Toby Poser.
