Trailer To Psychological Horror-Thriller ‘Spell’ Starring Omari Hardwick And Loretta Devine

Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming psychological horror-thriller Spell starring Omari Hardwick (Power, Sorry to Bother You) and Loretta Devine (The Carmichael Show, P-Valley). Spell is set to hit premium video-on-demand and digital platforms from Paramount Home Entertainment on October 30.

While flying to his father’s funeral in rural Appalachia, an intense storm causes Marquis (Omari Hardwick) to lose control of the plane carrying him and his family.  He awakens wounded, alone and trapped in Ms. Eloise’s (Loretta Devine) attic, who claims she can nurse him back to health with the Boogity, a Hoodoo figure she has made from his blood and skin. Unable to call for help, Marquis desperately tries to outwit and break free from her dark magic and save his family from a sinister ritual before the rise of the blood moon.

The cast for the film includes John Beasley (The Sum of All Fears, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks) and Lorraine Burroughs.

The film is directed by Mike Tonderai (House at the End of the Street, Locke & Key) from a script written by Kurt Wimmer (Children of the Corn, Law Abiding Citizen). Morris Chestnut (The Resident, The Enemy Within), Gordon Gray (Most Dangerous Game, The Way Back), Janine van Assen (Tomb Raider, Serenity), Brian Wilkins (Darrow & Darrow, Lost in America) and Wimmer are among the film’s producers.
