The Damned Trailer Sets Release Date for Odessa Young Horror Movie (original) (raw)

Vertical has shared The Damned trailer for the upcoming period horror movie about a small group of coastal residents who witness a shipwreck near their island. The film is led by Odessa Young (Mothering Sunday) as Eva and Joe Cole (Peaky Blinders) as Daniel.

“The film follows a 19th-century widow who is tasked with making an impossible choice when a ship sinks off the coast of her isolated fishing outpost during the middle of an especially cruel winter,” reads the synopsis. “With provisions running low, Eva and her close-knit community must choose between rescuing the shipwrecked crew and prioritizing their own survival. Facing the consequences of their decision and tormented by guilt, the inhabitants wrestle with a mounting sense of dread and begin to believe they are all being punished for their choices.”
