From the mists of legends, a vengeful war goddess emerges in the trailer for The Morrigan.<\/p>\n

The Irish horror film will be released on Digital February 3 via Bloody Disgusting\u2019s parent company, Cineverse.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea), James Cosmo (Braveheart), Emily Flain, Art Parkinson (\u201cGame of Thrones\u201d), and Toby Stephens (Die Another Day) star.<\/p>\n

Colum Eastwood writes and directs, expanding on his 2015 short of the same name. Ashley Holberry and Gavin Cosmo Mehrtens of Cowboy Cosmonaut produce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis film is deeply personal to me, drawing on the stories and landscapes I grew up with,\u201d says Eastwood. \u201cSeeing The Morrigan find a home with Cineverse is incredibly gratifying.\u201d<\/p>\n

AMP will be representing the film for international sales at the European Film Market in Berlin next month.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
