Prepare for a chilling journey into the darkness of faith and fear with the release of the official trailer for The Severed Sun, the highly anticipated folk horror film from Dark Sky Films. Mark your calendars—the nightmare arrives in theaters and on digital platforms on May 16, 2025.
Writer-Director Dean Puckett makes a remarkable feature debut with this haunting tale set within a secluded religious community, spiraling into chaos after a mysterious beast emerges from the shadows.
The film follows Magpie, the pastor's daughter, who unleashes a sinister force after murdering her abusive husband in the secluded depths of the forest. Soon after, paranoia and suspicion grip the isolated congregation, igniting a merciless witch hunt as dark truths surface and the community begins a horrifying descent into madness.
Featuring an impressive cast, including Emma Appleton (The Witcher), Toby Stephens (Lost in Space), Jodhi May (The Silent Twins), Lewis Gribben (T2 Trainspotting), Barney Harris (The Wheel of Time), Oliver Maltman (Another Year), and James Swanton (The First Omen, Stopmotion), The Severed Sun promises intense performances paired with haunting imagery.
Horror critic Trace Thurman praised the film, highlighting its fearless embrace of gore and visceral horror, describing the beast as "a striking and terrifying image brought vividly to life with a mix of practical and CGI effects."
