Witches of Blackwood (2021) is an Australian supernatural thriller with a witchy theme.
Originally entitled The Unlit, the film centers on a young woman Claire who following the death of her mother returns to her hometown to discover it riddled with witchcraft and overshadowed by a mysterious darkness, steeped in rumors of a soul-stealing entity.
This is the second movie as a director for actress and producer Kate Whitbread, and marks a serious twist of genres after being co-responsible of romantic comedy Surviving Georgia (2011). Darren Markey, the associate producer of the film, has been the writer of the screenplay.
The main role of Claire is played by Cassandra Magrath, known in the Australian horror circuit after having starred in Wolf Creek (2005), Scare Campaign (2016), and The Dustwalker (2019). Kevin Hofbauer, Lee Mason, John Voce, Nicholas Denton, and Nikola Dubois complete the main cast.
Witches of Blackwood (2021) is scheduled for a release on DVD and digital on September 7, 2021. Here you can watch its trailer.
