LD Entertainment has unveiled a trailer for its new supernatural horror/thriller The Cursed. The movie stars Boyd Holbrook (The Sandman, Logan), Kelly Reilly (Yellowstone, True Detective) and Alistair Petrie (Sex Education, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), and will be released in theaters nationwide on February 18.
The Cursed is from writer-director Sean Ellis, formerly titled Eight for Silver, and is a reimagining of the werewolf legend for a modern-day audience according to sources for Deadline. The film had its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and is set in the late 1800s. A once-peaceful remote country village comes under attack by an unseen force that appears to be haunting the inhabitants.
While the villagers spread rumors of a cursed land, strange beings, and supernatural happenings, the disappearances and killings continue. Pathologist John McBride (Holbrook) arrives to investigate the disappearances and deaths, but what he comes to uncover is something much more evil than he could have imagined.

“Sundance is always an incredible place to showcase your work. In the time that has followed that valuable experience, we took the opportunity to invigorate the film with an updated score by Lorne Balfe; we changed much of the CGI and decided to put back much of the original in-camera effects,” said Ellis. “We also elevated elements of the story that pay tribute to the incredible multitude of layers that live within the horror genre.”
