Radha Mitchell doesn't get enough credit for being a modern day scream queen. Think about all of the genre credits under her belt: PITCH BLACK, ROGUE, SILENT HILL, THE CRAZIES, EVIDENCE, the upcoming THE DARKNESS… girl's got horror cred. And here's another! SACRIFICE, a Scotland-set thriller that IFC Midnight will release on VOD April 29th.
From director Peter A. Dowling (STAG NIGHT) and based on the novel by Sharon Bolton, SACRIFICE goes like this:
Disturbing secrets lie buried in the bogs of a remote island in this spellbinding thriller. Shortly after surgeon Tora Hamilton (Radha Mitchell) moves with her husband (Rupert Graves) to the Shetland Islands – 100 miles off the coast of Scotland – she makes an unnerving discovery: the body of a young woman with strange symbols carved into her flesh and her heart ripped out. When what at first appears to be the remains of a victim of an ancient ritual turns out to be a fresh corpse, Tora is plunged into a dangerous mystery that may be connected to the dark myths of the island’s folklore.
SACRIFICE opens two weeks before we see Mitchell and Kevin Bacon fight off THE DARKNESS.
