The Severed Sun, the folk horror feature film debut from Dean Puckett will be released in theaters and VOD/Digital platforms on May 16th from Dark Sky Films.
Starring in the movie, which premiered at Fantastic Fest, are Emma Appleton (The Witcher, Pistol, LOLA, The Killing Kind), Toby Stephens (Lost In Space), Jodhi May (The Silent Twins), Lewis Gribben (T2 Trainspotting, Limbo, Masters of the Air), Barney Harris (The Wheel of Time, The Hollow Crown, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk), Oliver Maltman (Another Year), and James Swanton (Dashcam, Host)
In the heart of an isolated religious community, The Pastor delivers his fervent sermons to a devoted congregation. But dark secrets fester. In the depths of the forest, The Pastor’s daughter, Magpie, takes desperate action, ending the life of her abusive husband. Little does she know, his murder will unleash a malevolent force—a mysterious beast with shimmering white eyes.
As weeks pass, suspicion and paranoia grip the community, with accusatory fingers pointed at Magpie. The Pastor struggles to restore Magpie’s dwindling faith, and he is unable to bring her back into “The Truth.” Faith is fragile, and Magpie is hell bent on rebelling against the hypocrisy of her father.
When the Beast leaves a trail of gruesome carnage, a brutal witch hunt ignites. In this gripping tale of faith, fear, and the darkness within, friendships crumble, loyalties are tested, and the community hurtles toward self-destruction.
