The Australian supernatural horror film The School, which was directed by Storm Ashwood, has been haunting the halls of Cannes and right now we have a look at the artwork alongside the previously released stills.
Executive producer Richard S. Guardian states, “From photography and photos that we have seen, it is clear that Storm Ashwood’s vision is coming together in quite a spectacular way. The preliminary footage we’ve seen is fabulous! The make-up and effects are absolutely stunning and quite terrifying… certain to win over fans of the genre.”
Ashwood explains, “Combining the themes of fear and parenting and utilizing similar styles in modern Spanish ghost films with an homage to the Japanese horror genre, The School promises to be a classic horror thriller alongside films such as The Orphanage, The Others, and The Ring.”
The School stars Megan Drury, Will McDonald, Nicholas Hope, and Jack Ruwald.
Synopsis:
The School follows Amy, an attractive, successful surgeon, who struggles to cope with her emergency room duties and those of a young mother looking after her hospitalized son who has fallen into a coma. After being reprimanded by her boss, Dr. Wang, for obsessively believing her son will wake up, she becomes trapped in a coma/purgatory of her own – The School – where children from her past emerge to taunt and test her to her core, putting in doubt whether Amy will be able to save her son and leave The School.
