May 16: ABIGAIL
The vampire movie Abigail is directed by Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett), the directors of Devil's Due and Ready or Not.
Played by young Irish actress Alisha Weir (Matilda the Musical), Abigail will debut in Italian theaters on May 16 with Universal.
Plot: to collect a $50 million ransom, a gang of criminals kidnap Abigail, a 12-year-old ballerina. All they have to do is watch the girl overnight in an isolated mansion for only one night, just long enough to collect the ransom money. However, plans will not go as planned when the little girl reveals her true nature...
In the cast of Abigail there are also Giancarlo Esposito, Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens, Kathryn Newton, William Catlett, Kevin Durand, and Angus Cloud (Euphoria).
The screenplay is written by Guy Busick (Ready or Not, Scream) and Stephen Shields (The Hole in The Ground).
May 30: THE EXORCISM
The Exorcism (aka L'esorcismo - Ultimo atto) is a horror film about diabolical possession and features actor and screenwriter Joshua John Miller, known for his role as Homer in the vampire movie Near the Dark and for being the son of Jason Miller, the actor who played Father Karras in the The Exorcist (1973).
The film, in theaters May 30 with Eagle Pictures, stars Russell Crowe (The Pope's Exorcist), here as Anthony Miller, an actor adrift, tormented by demons of his past. When he finally gets a starring role in a horror film about exorcisms, the man seems to recover. During filming, however, disturbing phenomena will drag him into an abyss of madness, making him dangerous even to his daughter.
Sam Worthington, Ryan Simpkins, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg, and David Hyde Pierce complete the cast.
