'The Dark And The Wicked': Meet Marin Ireland, Xander Berkeley and rest of the cast of Bryan Bertino's horror film
Horror fans, we've got just the right pick for you: 'The Dark and The Wicked' releases on Friday, November 6, and it promises to be quite the gruesome ride.
It ticks all the boxes of a horror movie: deserted places, nightmares, and well a profound sense of evil. The synopsis of the film reads, "On a secluded farm in a nondescript rural town, a man is slowly dying. His family gathers to mourn, and soon darkness grows, marked by waking nightmares and a growing sense that something evil is taking over the family." If that doesn't sound reassuring, what does?
Written and directed by Bryan Bertino, the film stars Marin Ireland, Michael Abbott Jr and Xander Berkeley and had its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival on August 28, 2020. Before you get on to watching the horror flick, meet the cast of the grueling film.
