The Possessed trailer: John Jarratt takes on demons in Chris Sun film

It was recently announced that John Jarratt will be reprising the role of serial killer Mick Taylor for a third Wolf Creek film, but while we wait for Wolf Creek 3 we’ll have the chance to see Jarratt in a very different kind of horror movie: writer/director Chris Sun’s The Possessed. The film is set to reach theatres in Australia this November, and the trailer can be seen above.

The Possessed stars Jarratt as

Jacob Chandler, who is just an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift. Jacob is an accidental exorcist and together with his nephew Liam, they have forged a career clearing demons from the bodies of their clients. Of late, something has changed and demonic possessions are on the rise, and in order to keep those he loves safe from the wrath of unspeakable evil, Jacob must fight for them to survive.

When meeting Liam’s new girlfriend, Atalie Carlisle, he recognizes something in her dark, broken gaze – she too can see the damned. Jacob never expected to meet anyone else like himself, nor did he anticipate needing her help. When summoned to a hauntingly beautiful homestead with a tragic past, Jacob must call upon all his experience and Atalie’s untrained powers, to uncover the layers of demonic deception at play. Death is here, and it will do anything to be free.

Jarratt is joined in the cast by Lincoln Lewis as Liam and Lauren Grimson as Atalie. Their co-stars include Angie Kent, Melissa Tkautz, Simone Buchanan, Romy Poulier, Alli Simpson, Sean Lynch, Maha Wilson, Melissa Bell, and Jade Kevin Foster.

Sun produced the film with Christine Hulsby, Sue Baldwin, Danny Baldwin, and Mitchell Clough. A genre regular, Sun previously directed the horror films Come and Get Me, Daddy’s Little Girl, Charlie’s Farm, and Boar.
