Uncork’d Entertainment will be releasing Phil Wurtzel’s A Haunting in Cawdor (review) theatrically across America in 10 markets, including L.A. and New York, and On Demand March 11th; and right now we have a new trailer, stills, and artwork for ya!
Saw’s Cary Elwes kicks off a roll call of hot faces including Shelby Young (TV’s “American Horror Story”), Michael Welch (Twilight, TVs “Z Nation”), and Allie Deberry (Lazer Team) in a frightening twist on Shakespeare’s Macbeth that’s being called one of the “surprises of the year” (lalafilm).
Synopsis:
In this tense tale of psychological terror, Vivian Miller (Shelby Young) is a young 20-something woman who’s serving out her jail sentence at a work release program in the Midwest. Her 90 days of probation take her to The Cawdor Barn Theatre, a dilapidated summer stock theater run by Lawrence O’Neil (Cary Elwes).
Lawrence, a failed Broadway director, is now reduced to staging amateur productions with young parolees and raging over the mistakes from his past. Vivian’s arrival in Cawdor starts a terrifying series of events that brings Lawrence’s secret past to the present. After Vivian views an old taped stage production of Macbeth, a force of evil is unleashed which soon turns its sights on her. With the help of Roddy (Michael Welch), a local outcast, Vivian sets about trying to discover who the supernatural killer on the tape is before she becomes the next victim.
