From the mists of legends, a vengeful war goddess emerges in the trailer for The Morrigan.
The Irish horror film will be released on Digital February 3 via Bloody Disgusting’s parent company, Cineverse.
It follows an archaeologist specializing in Gaelic mythology who travels with her rebellious teenage daughter to a remote region of Ireland. The two are forced to fight for their lives as a vengeful pagan war goddess known as The Morrigan is released from her tomb.
Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea), James Cosmo (Braveheart), Emily Flain, Art Parkinson (“Game of Thrones”), and Toby Stephens (Die Another Day) star.
Colum Eastwood writes and directs, expanding on his 2015 short of the same name. Ashley Holberry and Gavin Cosmo Mehrtens of Cowboy Cosmonaut produce.
“This film is deeply personal to me, drawing on the stories and landscapes I grew up with,” says Eastwood. “Seeing The Morrigan find a home with Cineverse is incredibly gratifying.”
AMP will be representing the film for international sales at the European Film Market in Berlin next month.
