‘Some houses were never meant to be a home’
The Banishing is a 2020 British horror feature film about a young reverend and his family who are threatened by a demonic spirit.
Directed by Christopher Smith (Triangle; Severance; Creep) from a screenplay co-written by David Beton, Ray Bogdanovich and Dean Lines, the Westend Films production stars Jessica Brown Findlay, Sean Harris (Possum; Prometheus; Deliver Us from Evil), John Lynch and John Heffernan. Produced by Maya Amsellem, Sharon Harel, Neil Jones and Jason Newmark.
Plot:
A young reverend, his wife Marianne (Jessica Brown Findlay) and their daughter Adelaide (Anya McKenna-Bruce) move into a manor with a horrifying secret. When a demonic spirit possesses the little girl and threatens to tear the family apart, the reverend is forced to confront his beliefs…
Director Christopher Smith told Variety: “The way I pushed and directed the script is so that the horror is coming out from within the characters. Ghosts are individual for the people; you get haunted by something different to the next man, based on your life. I really wanted to factor that into it.” He added: “You go into the house, and the house unravels you.”
