“It’s quite a strange thing to think of the supernatural. I believe it’s more natural, but just overlooked. It’s part of all our lives. We’ve invented artificialities; we don’t really dare look at what is quite ordinary. We exist within the compass of what we think is real.” – Nicolas Roeg

Powerful supernatural forces are unleashed when Liffey, a young architect and her boyfriend move to an isolated and mysterious valley in Ireland to renovate an ancient decaying cottage. Shortly after arriving she unexpectedly becomes pregnant… and powerful forces are unleashed. The Old Nordic Gods stir. An extended family of rural women—Mabs, a mother of three trying to get pregnant again, Audrey, her reclusive teenage daughter, and Molly, Mabs’s mother, who dabbles in witchcraft, take a strange interest in her unborn child, and her very survival is threatened.

Nicolas Roeg extracts the uncanny from the familiar and delivers a mix of enveloping thrill and otherworldly ill omen in his adaptation of Fay Weldon’s novel, scripted and produced by her son Dan. The architect of mind-bending classics such as The Man Who Fell To Earth, Performance, Walkabout, and Bad Timing, reunites with Donald Sutherland for the first time since his masterpiece Don’t Look Now and finds fertile material for his unique sensibility with his return to the big screen.
