Writer-director Sean Hogan made an impression with his debut in 2005, Lie Still (also known as The Haunting of #24), and has been one to watch in the horror genre ever since.
Hogan returns behind the camera with The Devil’s Business, which has been earning buzz over the past year doing the festival circuit, and we’ve now got a world exclusive new clip from the film ahead of its release in the UK this month.
“Two hit men are sent to murder an old associate of their underworld boss. But things are not all what they seem in their quarry’s house and the discovery of a make-shift black magic altar – and its shocking sacrifice – sends the uncomprehending duo into the shadowy darkness of their own tortured souls and terrifying confrontations with their worst primal fears.
Brilliantly acted, solidly crafted and exuding a palpable atmosphere of claustrophobic dread, this eerily effective gem announces the arrival of director Sean Hogan on the genre’s front-line.”
Hogan is directing from his own script, with Jack Gordon, Jonathan Hansley, Billy Clarke, and Harry Miller heading up the cast.
The Devil’s Business will be released in the UK in two weeks on 17th August. No word yet on a US release, but here’s the great new clip to give you a reason to hope it will head across the Atlantic later this year. Enjoy.
