Neil Marshall, the director of 2005’s The Descent, has returned to genre filmmaking with The Reckoning and today, the film’s distributor RLJE Films has released the official trailer.
The period horror takes place during the Great Plague and tells the story of Grace Haverstock (Charlotte Kirk), a widow, who is unjustly accused of being a witch and placed in the custody of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter, Judge Moorcroft (Sean Pertwee). Forced to endure physical and emotional torture while steadfastly maintaining her innocence, Grace must face her own inner demons as the Devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.
The Reckoning will premiere in theaters, on demand, and via digital platforms on February 5, 2021.
