This July, cinema audiences will be suitably spooked by supernatural Blumhouse horror (Halloween, Insidious) THE VIGIL, when it's released on 31st July 2020 in the UK and Ireland. There's a new trailer for you at the link above.
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. |
