The next horror movie from Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah’s SpectreVision (Mandy) is titled Rabbit Trap, and Deadline provides us with the first information this afternoon.
For starters, Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), Rosy McEwen (Blue Jean) and Jade Croot (The Serpent Queen) star in Rabbit Trap, which has wrapped filming in Wales.
“Set in 1973, the film charts the story of married musicians Daphne and Darcy Davenport, who have relocated from London to an isolated cabin in Wales in order to complete their new record. When they accidentally make a field recording of a mystical sound never before heard by human ears, a strange child enters their lives who gradually untethers them from reality.
“The couple soon find themselves caught between the ancient spirits of the natural world and the lives they once knew.”
Bryn Chainey wrote and directed Rabbit Trap.
“Bryn’s vision for Rabbit Trap artfully fuses the world of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop with authentic Celtic Faerie lore to create a mythical marriage story that unfolds in a sonic landscape. It’s an utterly unique vision from an important new voice in cinema that we’re privileged to be a part of,” said producer Elijah Wood.
Stephen Kelliher of Bankside Films adds, “We were immediately drawn to Bryn’s arresting and authored take on a horror story which will immerse audiences in the most cinematic and sonic world, full of spirits from the ancient world. The creative team behind and in front of the camera is exceptional and we are thrilled to bring this highly anticipated debut to the world.”
Bankside Films and CAA Media Finance will launch sales at the American Film Market.
