Touted as something of a Rosemary’s Baby for the 21st century, debut director Ali Abbasi’s artsy Shelley landed on UK DVD this week. In celebration of the new arrival, we’ve grabbed an exclusive clip for you to get all gooey over. Say hello to this new addition to the family!
Shelley stars Ellen Dorrit Petersen (Into the Dark), Cosmina Stratan (Beyond the Hills), Peter Christoffersen (TV’s “The Bridge”) and Björn Andrésen (Death In Venice).
Synopsis:
When Elena arrives in the countryside to work as a housekeeper for Louise and Kasper, she finds the isolated cottage deep in a dense, eerie forest, cut off from modern society. Soon, Louise approaches Elena with a lucrative deal: begging her to carry a baby for her as she is unable to conceive, and desperately yearns for a child.
Elena’s pregnancy brings joy into the cold, dark home, but it isn’t long until strange events, sensations and hallucinations lead the household to believe that something is terribly wrong. The life growing inside Elena is taking shape too fast, and bringing an evil force like no other.
