Hailing out of the UK, Bloody Disgusting scored the first image from Martyrs Lane, a brand new ghost story from Ruth Platt.
In the film, “Leah (Kiera Thompson) lives in a large vicarage, full of lost souls and the needy, with her parents, busy with their ministry and her older sister.
“In the day, the house is bustling with people; at night it is dark and empty, a space for Leah’s nightmares to creep into.
“Leah can’t quite work out why something feels missing in her relationship with her mother, however hard she tries. When a small, nightly visitor appears, Leah feels duty-bound to receive them with kindness – and a little game between them begins in which Leah is set a nightly task. With each task, Leah’s knowledge grows – knowledge that unpicks at the broken relationship she has with her mother, and threatens to destabilize the world as she knows it.”
From Ipso Facto Productions, the film also stars Denise Gough, Sienna Sayer, Steven Cree, Hannah Rae, and Anastasia Hille.
Producers are Christine Alderson and Katie Hodgkin, with Lizzie Francke, Norman Merry, Peter Hampton, Ian Sharp, Rebecca Joerin-Sharp, and Emma Dutton executive producing.
