Director Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers) returns to the horror genre with The Reckoning, which he co-wrote with the film's star Charlotte Kirk. Set
during the Great Plague, the film sees Kirk play Grace, a woman accused of
being a witch. As she faces off against a witchfinder (Sean Pertwee), Grace finds herself in danger of turning to the Devil for real.
The Reckoning is on UK Digital from April 16th.
Check out the UK trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Set against the backdrop of the Great Plague and subsequent witch-hunts against women, Grace Haverstock (Charlotte Kirk) must grapple with the tragic untimely death of her husband Joseph (Joe Anderson) in a society completely consumed by fear and death. Because she rejects her landlord Squire Pendleton’s (Steven Waddington) advances, she is falsely accused of being a witch and thrown in jail for a crime she didn’t commit. Grace must endure physical persecution at the hands of England’s most ruthless witch-hunter Judge Moorcroft (Sean Pertwee) and face her own inner demons as the Devil himself starts to work his way into her mind.
