Here’s teh very first look image from the upcoming A Banquet, a psychological horror movie starring Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil film series, High Rise), British rising stars Jessica Alexander (Get Even) and Ruby Stokes (Rocks, Una), and award-winning actress Lindsay Duncan CBE (Made in Italy, Private Lives). The film marks the directorial debut of Ruth Paxton and is written by Justin Bull. Shooting has just finished up in London.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Widowed mother Holly is radically tested when her teenage daughter Betsey 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 agonising dilemma torn between love and fear, Holly is forced to confront the boundaries of her own beliefs.
HanWay Films has picked up worldwide sales rights and will introduce the film to buyers. More as we get it.
