Pilgrimage: Violent Irish thriller combines history, theology and psychological horror
And what a cast Pilgrimage has, with Spider-Man: Homecoming‘s Tom Holland (as opposed to Fright Night director Tom Holland!), The Walking Dead and The Punisher‘s Jon Bernthal and The Hobbit‘s Richard Armitage. While not a traditional horror film, the movie still seems to tread the lines walked by such historical horror as Witchfinder General, The Devils and Black Death and is filled to the brim with severed heads, limbs, blood-spatters and screaming.
Synopsis: Ireland, 1209. A small group of monks begin a reluctant pilgrimage across an island torn between centuries of tribal warfare and the growing power of Norman invaders. As they escort their monastery’s holiest relic to Rome, the true value of the bejeweled relic becomes dangerously apparent and their path becomes increasingly fraught with danger.
RLJ Entertainment will release Pilgrimage to theaters, VOD and Digital HD on August 11th. We have an exclusive look at the film’s official character posters below, featuring the three leads.
