Here’s the first look at Hammer Films’ follow-up to The Woman in Black, their upcoming supernatural thriller/horror The Quiet Ones.
Directed by John Pogue (Quarantine 2: Terminal) it will feature Mad Men star Jared Harris alongside Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman); Erin Richards (Breaking In), Olivia Cooke (The Secret of Crickley Hall) and West End theater actor Rory Fleck-Byrne.
The story takes place in the 1970s and finds Harris as an unorthodox professor ‘who uses controversial methods and leads his students off the grid to take part in a dangerous experiment: to create a poltergeist from negative human energy.’
This video takes us behind the scenes of the film’s shoot, where some people involved talk about the setting, plot, and production of the film.
The Quiet Ones start filming last month in Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire and is expected to be released in 2013.

Based on the theory that paranormal activity is caused by human negative energy, the rogue scientists perform a series of tests on a young patient, pushing her to the edge of sanity. As frightening occurrences begin to take place with shocking and gruesome consequences, the group quickly realizes they have triggered a force more terrifying than they ever could have imagined.
