Lionsgate has released the first trailer and picture for the upcoming supernatural thriller The Quiet Ones, which as being sold as being inspired by true events, telling the story of an unorthodox, but charismatic professor who uses controversial methods and leads his best students off the grid to take part in a dangerous experiment: to create a poltergeist from negative human energy.
Directed by John Pogue (Quarantine 2: Terminal) and starring Jared Harris, Sam Claflin, Erin Richards, Rory Fleck-Byrne and Olivia Cooke the film is set to hit theaters on April 25 and was one of my most anticipated of 2014, but after checking out the very end of this trailer it looks like they are stealing the “goo out of the mouth” thing straight from A Haunting in Connecticut. I don’t really like that, but we’ll see.
Check out the trailer, the first picture and the official synopsis below.
A university student (Sam Claflin) and some classmates are recruited to carry out a private experiment — to create a poltergeist. Their subject: an alluring, but dangerously disturbed young woman (Olivia Cooke). Their quest: to explore the dark energy that her damaged psyche might manifest. As the experiment unravels along with their sanity, the rogue PHD students are soon confronted with a terrifying reality: they have triggered an unspeakable force with a power beyond all explanation. Inspired by true events, The Quiet Ones is directed by John Pogue from a screenplay by Craig Rosenberg and Oren Moverman and John Pogue, and based on a screenplay by Tom de Ville.
