Trailer For New Dario Argento-Produced Psychological Witch Horror Film SHE WILL
Legendary Italian horror-thriller director Dario Argento has produced a horror film titled She Will from director Charlotte Colbert, who is making her feature film directorial debut.
In the movie, an aging film star retreats to the Scottish countryside with her nurse to recover from surgery. While there, mysterious forces of revenge emerge from the land where witches were burned. Here’s the synopsis:
“Veronica Ghent, who after a double mastectomy, goes to a healing retreat in rural Scotland with her young nurse Desi. There she discovers that the process of such surgery opens up questions about her very existence, leading her to start to question and confront past traumas. The two develop an unlikely bond as mysterious forces give Veronica the power to exact revenge within her dreams.”
This looks like a haunting film that will tell an interesting and dark phycological story. But, it’s also beautifully shot. When previously talking about the movie, the director said:
“The story of She Will has themes I’ve always been interested in within my practice and within my life,” director Colbert told Variety in the initial announcement. “How trauma blurs our experience of reality and time, how nature holds so much solace, how we all carry within us the muscle memory of those who came before and those who will come after, how the infinitely small, like a cell, contains the same patterns as the universe. How meaning and perspective and reality and time are all such fragile constructs that can break at any time. The genre of psychological horror seems to allow more artistic freedom than drama. It also at its heart fittingly captures those existential feelings.”
The movie stars Alice Krige (Gretel & Hansel), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Rupert Everett (Dark City), Jon McCrea (Cruella), Amy Manson (The Nevers), and Kota Eberhardt.
The movie will be released on July 15th.
