If you're a fan of horror films with a unique twist, then Quinn Armstrong's upcoming movie, The Exorcism of Saint Patrick, should be on your radar. Set to release on August 27th, 2024, this indie horror flick is the first installment in the Fresh Hell trilogy, promising a spine-chilling experience that will haunt you long after the credits roll.
Armstrong, an American indie genre filmmaker known for Survival Skills and several shorts, directs and writes this gripping tale. The story follows a pastor who takes a young gay teen to a remote cabin for conversion therapy. When the pastor's methods push the teen to suicide, the vengeful ghost of the victim returns, bringing with him the tormented souls of others who suffered similar fates.
One of the standout aspects of The Exorcism of Saint Patrick is its production approach. Armstrong draws inspiration from the Hammer Horror and Roger Corman models, crafting films on a tight budget but with immense creativity. Each film in the trilogy boasts its own distinctive aesthetic, yet they are cleverly interconnected. The practical effects, masterfully handled by industry legend Dave Greathouse (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Wrong Turn, Fun Size), promise to deliver a visually striking horror experience.
The film stars Steve Pinder, Michael J. Cline, Maya Jeyam, Caitlin McWethy, Alan Tyson, Andrew James Myers, Louie Kurtzman, Erik Donley, and Beau Roberts. This ensemble cast brings depth and intensity to a story already packed with emotional and supernatural elements.
The Exorcism of Saint Patrick is produced by Philip R. Garrett and Andrew James Myers and will be released in select US theaters and on VOD platforms. For horror aficionados and indie film enthusiasts alike, this film is a must-watch, offering not only scares but also a compelling narrative on redemption and revenge.
Mark your calendars for August 27th and prepare to be terrified by The Exorcism of Saint Patrick. It's an indie horror journey you won't want to miss.
