On his official Instagram page, director Julien Maury shared the new poster of The Soul Eater (Le mangeur d'âmes), the horror film he directed together with Alexandre Bustillo. Known for directing the violent Inside, the horror films Livid, Among The Living, the slasher Leatherface (2017) and The Deep House, the French directing duo this time tries their hand at the film adaptation of Alexis Laipsker's novel of the same name. The film is produced by Phase 4 Productions together with Place du Marché Productions and will be released in French theaters on April 24.
The official synopsis of the novel foreshadows another bloody movie for the filmmakers: "He did not shout. They never shout". Some secrets are sometimes too heavy to keep. When the disappearance of children and bloody murders multiply in a small mountain village, an ancient legend resurfaces from oblivion forcing Guardian Commander and Gendarmerie Captain De Rolan to join forces to uncover the truth.
The cast of The Soul Eater includes Virginie Ledoyen (Saint Ange, The Beach), Paul Hamy (The Last Day on Earth) and Sandrine Bonnaire (Under Satan's Sun).
Photography, on the other hand, is by Simon Roca (Kandisha).
