First Look at Australian Supernatural Horror ‘Effigy’ Brings the Pain
We have our first look at the Australian supernatural horror film, ‘Effigy’, and it looks like it’s bringing the pain.
With Australian horror, you know you’re generally going to get something fucked up and bloody. And that appears to be the case in the first look at supernatural horror flick Effigy, released by Variety this morning.
Set in 1989 England, the film “follows the Marsh family as they endure a violent haunting sparked by the unearthing of a mysterious effigy doll. An entity behind the disturbance grows increasingly fixated on the family’s daughter, prompting two paranormal investigators to dig into what becomes a traumatic case.”
Chris Gun, Lauren Koopowitz, David Daradan and Saya Kraetzer star.
Myles McEwen and Ripley Stevens directed the film.
Said McEwen, “We poured our hearts and souls into this one. Unlike our previous features, we followed a standard storytelling model and chose to explore a depression that many of us can relate to. Through this, there’s a genuine heartbeat and soul that emerged from the film. We shot and designed the film to feel straight out of 1989, capturing the magic of cinema from that era.”
Black Mandala Films produced the film. Executive producers are Michael Kraetzer and Nicolás Onetti.
Said Kraetzer, “Effigy takes supernatural Horror to new heights. An exorcism with psychosexual undertones. It’s genuinely terrifying to watch.”
Effigy just wrapped production and will soon begin its festival run.
