[Trailer] ‘The Babadook’ Director Jennifer Kent is Back With Revenge Film ‘The Nightingale’
Not only are the directors of The Witch and Hereditary back this year with new horror films but so too is Jennifer Kent, following up her masterful The Babadook with The Nightingale.
You can check out the official trailer below.
Meredith Borders raved about The Nightingale, writing that it’s a “breathtaking success by a director who could have made anything after the success of her first horror feature.”
“Set in Tasmania in 1825, The Nightingale follows a 21-year-old Irish female convict (Aisling Franciosi) who witnesses the brutal murder of her husband and baby by her soldier master and his cronies. Unable to find justice, she takes an Aboriginal male tracker with her through the hellish wilderness to seek revenge on the men.”
The cast also includes Sam Claflin, Damon Herriman, Ewen Leslie, Harry Greenwood, Baykali Ganambarr and Magnolia Maymuru.
IFC will release Kent’s next in theaters on August 2, 2019.
