When meeting Liam’s new girlfriend, Atalie Carlisle (Lauren Grimson), 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.
The all-star Australian cast includes Lincoln Lewis, Angie Kent, Lauren Grimson, Melissa Tkautz, Simone Buchanan, Jade Kevin Foster, as well as John Jarratt, the actor who portrayed the infamous Mick Taylor in the Wolf Creek franchise. The Possessed is written and directed by Chris Sun (Boar, Charlie’s Farm, Daddy’s Little Girl and Come and Get Me) and produced by Christine Hulsby, Sue Baldwin, Danny Baldwin, Mitchell Clough, and Chris Sun. The film is currently set for a July 2021 release.
