A24’s just released a new one-minute clip from the thriller, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, starring Scream Queens‘ Emma Roberts. The cast also includes Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men), Lucy Boynton (Sing Street), Lauren Holly (Motive), and James Remar (Dexter). Osgood “Oz” Perkins (I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) wrote and directed The Blackcoat’s Daughter, and A24’s planning a March 31, 2017 premiere on DirecTV.
The Plot: The Blackcoat’s Daughter centers on Kat (Shipka) and Rose (Boynton), two girls who are left alone at their prep school Bramford over winter break when their parents mysteriously fail to pick them up. While the girls experience increasingly strange and creepy occurrences at the isolated school, we cross cut to another story—that of Joan (Roberts), a troubled young woman on the road, who, for unknown reasons, is determined to get to Bramford as fast as she can.
As Joan gets closer to the school, Kat becomes plagued by progressively intense and horrifying visions, with Rose doing her best to help her new friend as she slips further and further into the grasp of an unseen evil force. The movie suspensefully builds to the moment when the two stories will finally intersect, setting the stage for a shocking and unforgettable climax.
