In medieval England, Anne and her domineering mother-in-law Morwen struggle to survive on the outskirts of society. But when a man from Anne's past returns from war, a curse begins to take shape through a mysterious knight and threatens to destroy them all.
Acting
Turner's simmering rage; Harden devouring every scene.
Cinematography
Mud, mist, and candlelight—gorgeously miserable.
Practical Effects
The knight costume: unsettling without a single CGI tentacle.
Director
Natasha Kermani
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Turner and Harington refused to rehearse their reunion scene together, wanting genuine awkward tension.
Kermani cited 'The Witch' and 'Kill List' but wanted the female gaze on medieval horror—Anne's suffering isn't spectacle, it's the entire point.
