Director Manu Herrera takes us back to 1990s Madrid for folk horror Lily's Ritual. Four friends make the textbook error of heading to a remote cabin in the woods where they plan on dabbling with witchcraft during the final autumn equinox of the millennium. Things take a dark turn, leaving one of the girls, Lily, alone to face the forces of evil that lurk in the woods.
Co-written with Javier Fernández Moratalla, the film stars Maggie García, Patricia Peñalver, Elena Gallardo, Eve Ryan, Mike Fajardo and Antea Rodríguez.
A release date has yet to be announced but you can check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Set during the autumn equinox in Madrid at the end of the 20th century, LILY’S RITUAL follows Lily, a pale and withdrawn young woman who travels with her friends to a remote forest cabin to be initiated into witchcraft. As preparations unfold and night falls, the ritual begins. But when Lily collapses mid-ceremony, she awakens bound, injured, and alone—unaware that the true purpose of the gathering is far more sinister. Lily herself has been chosen as the sacrifice. Nothing, however, goes as planned.A demonic laugh echoes through the forest. Alliances fracture. Lies are exposed. The ritual turns violently against its creators, unleashing a force that cannot be controlled.
