New Look at Oz Perkins’ ‘The Blackcoat’s Daughter’

A deeply atmospheric and terrifying new horror film, The Blackcoat’s Daughter centers on Kat (Kiernan Shipka) and Rose (Lucy Boynton), two girls who are left alone at their prep school Bramford over winter break when their parents mysteriously fail to pick them up. While the girls experience increasingly strange and creepy occurrences at the isolated school, we cross cut to another story—that of Joan (Emma Roberts), a troubled young woman on the road, who, for unknown reasons, is determined to get to Bramford as fast as she can. As Joan gets closer to the school, Kat becomes plagued by progressively intense and horrifying visions, with Rose doing her best to help her new friend as she slips further and further into the grasp of an unseen evil force. The movie suspensefully builds to the moment when the two stories will finally intersect, setting the stage for a shocking and unforgettable climax.

This latest clip from Oz Perkins’ highly anticipated boarding school thriller manages to pack plenty of tension and unease into just one minute. The work with shadows and framing pair perfectly with the unsettling ambient noise for an overall sense of uncertainty and dread. If your curiosity is peaked, you only have a short while to wait.

The Blackcoat’s Daughter is available now on DirecTV and will see a wider release March 31st, 2017.
