The Severed Sun
Director: Dean Puckett | 2024 | 80 Mins | Folk Horror | UK | English
In the heart of an isolated religious community, The Pastor delivers his fervent sermons to a devoted congregation. But dark secretes fester. In the depths of the forest, The Paster’s daughter, Magpie, takes desperate action, ending the life of her abusive husband. Little does she know; his murder will unleash a malevolent force—a mysterious beast with shimmering white eyes.
As weeks pass, suspicion and paranoia grip the community, with accusatory fingers pointed at Magpie. The Pastor struggles to restore Magpie’s dwindling faither, and he is unable to bring her back into ‘The Truth.’ Faith is fragile, and Magpie is hell bent on rebelling against the hypocrisy of her father.
When the Beat leaves a trail of gruesome carnage, a brutal witch hunt ignites. In the gripping tale of faith, fear, and the darkness within; friendships crumble, loyalties are tested, and the community hurtles toward self-destruction.
