Watch a new clip from Lionsgate and Hammer Studios' The Quiet Ones with Sam Claflin and Jarred Harris performing a creepy seance.
Some forces should simply not be summoned. They are beyond our control, they are beyond our understanding…they are The Quiet Ones. And in the new clip released by Lionsgate and Hammer Studios, “Burning,” trying to talk with them may as well be setting a match to gasoline.
Supposedly based on true events, this period piece horror looks equal parts Hellhouse and Exorcist in its grand setting of 1970s creepy-crawlies. The intentionally vintage look promises hopefully another grand freak show when university student (Sam Claflin of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) and some classmates are recruited to carry out a private experiment by a peculiar scientist (Jared Harris of Mad Men and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows) -- to create a poltergeist. Their subject: an alluring, but dangerously disturbed young woman (Olivia Cooke of Bates Motel). Their quest: to explore the dark energy that her damaged psyche might manifest. As the experiment unravels along with their sanity, the rogue PHD students are soon confronted with a terrifying reality: they have triggered an unspeakable force with a power beyond all explanation. Inspired by true events, The Quiet Ones is directed by John Pogue from a screenplay by Craig Rosenberg and Oren Moverman and John Pogue, and based on a screenplay by Tom de Ville.
The Quiet Ones opens April 25, 2014.
