This July, cinema audiences will be suitably spooked by supernatural Blumhouse horror (Halloween, Insidious) THE VIGIL, when it's released on 17th July 2020 in the UK and Ireland.
As cinema-goers are now allowed to watch films back on the big screen, Vertigo Releasing announces the release of THE VIGIL from Friday 17th July. THE VIGIL is produced by J. D. Lifshitz & Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures, and Adam Margules of Angry Adam Productions.
THE VIGIL is set over the course of a long, dark night in Brooklyn's Hassidic "Boro" Park neighbourhood, following Yakov (Dave Davis, True Detective), a former Hassid, who has lost his faith, and isn't eager to go back to the insular religious community he only recently fled. But when Reb Shulem (Menashe Lustig), a rabbi and confidante, approaches Yakov and offers to pay him to be the shomer (watching over the dead body of a community member) for a recently deceased Holocaust survivor, he reluctantly accepts the job. Shortly after arriving at the dilapidated house, Yakov realises that something is very, very wrong. This will not be a quiet vigil.
