Jane Morton, a psychiatrist from Dublin in deep mourning following the accidental death of her husband and son, is assigned to work on the case of Dorothy Mills, a teenaged girl in a small village who tried to strangle a baby. After miraculously surviving a car accident, Jane discovers a village darkened by strange events and meets a very nervous Dorothy, who swears she never touched the baby. After analyzing the teenager, Jane makes a diagnosis of multiple personality disorder until the day that Dorothy speaks with the voice of David, Jane's dead son.
The buzz around Agnes Merlet's possession film Dorothy Mills has been building slowly but steadily for a good while now with all who have seen it coming away both impressed and disturbed. We first wrote about the film in these pages back in early July but at the time all that was available to share was a French dubbed version of the trailer. Now, however, there's lots more. We've got that trailer with the proper English audio track plus four new clips. Check them all out below the break.
"Some Evil shit is going on!" is now my favourite movie quote of the year.
This looks first class. Its difficult with "possession" movies to get the right tone - The Exorcist is still the most memorable, even after 30 years. What will make or break this movie are the underlying currents concerning the isolated community. Looks very creepy though from the clips.
Yes, it's quite tricky for many 'possession' films to get the actual 'possession' scenario correct. It either comes across totally overwrought and not frightening in the slightest, or just plain simple. Let's hope this film pulls it off in a credible fashion.
Mmmm... Carice van Houten....
Let's just hope this isn't another "Exorcism of Emily Rose". That movie had a brilliant trailer, but the movie itself sucked mightily.
