IFC Midnight debuted the official trailer for A Banquet, a British horror film starring Sienna Guillory, Jessica Alexander, and Ruby Stokes. Directed by Ruth Paxton, the film premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival and opens in theaters and VOD on February 18, 2022.
Widowed mother Holly (Sienna Guillory) is radically tested when her teenage daughter Betsey (Jessica Alexander) experiences a profound enlightenment and insists that her body is no longer her own, but in service to a higher power. Bound to her newfound faith, Betsey refuses to eat but loses no weight. In an agonizing dilemma, torn between love and fear, Holly is forced to confront the boundaries of her own beliefs.
