Exclusive trailer and poster: Enter the award-winning “THE GATEHOUSE” in December

Having won a pair of Best Feature festival awards earlier this year, the British occult chiller THE GATEHOUSE sees release in December. We’ve got the exclusive first look at the new trailer and poster.

Written and directed by Martin Gooch, THE GATEHOUSE debuts on VOD December 5 from Uncork’d Entertainment. Scarlett Rayner, Simeon Willis, Linal Haft, Paul Freeman, Hannah Waddingham, Alix Wilton Regan and Melissa Knatchbull star; the synopsis: “Jack [Willis] is a struggling writer recovering from the death of his wife. His daughter, 10-year-old Eternity [Rayner], loves digging for treasure in the forest behind her house. In a coincidental turn of fate, Jack agrees to undertake a writing project about the ‘legend of the black flowers’ at the same time that Eternity discovers a mysterious object in the woods, and the forest wants it back. They’ve unlocked an ancient curse and must now fight for survival.”
