ROSEMARY’S BABY meets REAR WINDOW and THE CONJURING: ISABELLE tells the story of young couple Larissa (Amanda Crew) and Matt (Adam Brody) who are about to embark on the journey of parenthood, and if that wasn’t enough, they’ve just moved into a new house. Complete with suspicious neighbour and her strange daughter which is a guaranteed recipe for a feast of horrific delights.

As tragedy strikes the young couple, Larissa spirals into a grief-stricken delusion, or so Matt thinks, which threatens to break apart their family. When confronted by a demonic entity, Larissa is forced to come to terms with fears surrounding inherited psychosis, the line between reality and imagination and her will to survive.

Canadian director, Rob Heydon (ECSTASY, 2011) pays homage to some of the greats in this supernatural horror. Composer, Mark Corven, known for his work on Robert Egger’s folk-horror, THE VVITCH, scores a dramatic and tense soundtrack that fans of 70’s and 80’s horror will love.

Bordering on over-the-top silliness at times, fans of Sam Raimi’s DRAG ME TO HELL and Gerard Johnstone’s HOUSEBOUND will appreciate the glowing demonic eyes and dark comic moments that ISABELLE neatly fits within its narrative.

ISABELLE is a possession movie first and foremost, dealing with deep seated family drama and the obstacles of parenthood, specifically motherhood. Fans of classics such as ROSEMARY’S BABY and more contemporary tales, such as ANNABELLE: CREATION and HEREDITARY will find a home in the warped world of ISABELLE. A film following classic tropes, boasting a killer soundtrack while striking a harmonious balance of psychological horror and exaggerated effects; ISABELLE has something to offer lovers of the genre.

ISABELLE screens at the Cambridge Film Festival on 26th October at 21.30 and 30th October at 22.15
