Elijah Wood Producing a New Horror Film RABBIT TRAP with Dev Patel Set To Star
Elijah Wood is producing a new horror movie titled Rabbit Trap through his SpectreVision production company. The movie stars Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), Rosy McEwen and Jade Croot (The Serpent Queen) and the film recently wrapped production in Wales.
The movie is set in 1973, and it “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, and the couple soon find themselves caught between the ancient spirits of the natural world and the lives they once knew.”
The film was written and directed by first-time director Bryn Chainey. Wood said in a statement: “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.”
Stephen Kelliher of Bankside Films added: “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.”
This sounds like it could end up being an interesting horror movie.
