Horror director Chris Sun has unleashed new stills of his new film The Possessed. The six images are a showcase of the practical effects Sun is known for and provides a first look at the all-Australian cast.

The Possessed is an intense horror that follows Jacob Chandler (John Jarratt, Wolf Creek) who is just an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift. Jacob is an accidental exorcist and together with his nephew Liam (Lincoln Lewis, Spin Out), they have forged a career clearing demons from the bodies of their clients. Of late, something has changed and demonic possessions are on the rise. In order to keep those he loves safe from the wrath of unspeakable evil, Jacob must fight for them to survive.

When meeting Liam’s new girlfriend, Atalie Carlisle (Lauren Grimson, Water Horse), 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 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 Possessed is set to be released in July 2021.
