Be prepared for a serious shiver or two down your spine with our exclusive clip of Blumhouse horror, The Vigil…
If that wasn’t enough to give you the chills, here is a synopsis of the film…
The Vigil is set over the course of a long, dark night in Brooklyn’s Hassidic “Boro” Park neighbourhood, following Yakov, 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.
Directed and written by Keith Thomas (Arkane), The Vigil stars Dave Davis (True Detective), Menashe Lustig (Tzadeikis), Malky Goldman (The Alien) and the late, great Lynn Cohen (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire).
The Vigil is out in the UK and Ireland is cinemas now.
