We love some good horror around RockRevolt, and there is one film that we’ve been keeping a very close eye on for some time – Children Of Sorrow. The first trailer scared the BeeJesus out of us (pun intended) and now Lionsgate has dropped a new official trailer for the film starring Bill Oberst Jr. as a highly charismatic – and very psychotic cult leader.
Children Of Sorrow was picked up by After Dark and Lionsgate after festival wins at the Sacramento Horror Film Festival and Hollywood’s Shockfest Film Festival which included two Best Feature awards, a Best Actor Award for Bill Oberst Jr. and a Best Acting award for the ensemble cast.
Watch the new trailer for Children Of Sorrow:
Bill Oberst Jr. says the role of cult leader Simon Leach was “personal and terrifying.” The actor lived in isolation during the shoot in order to get into the mindset of the Jim Jones-like Leach. Director Jourdan McClure and writer Ryan Finnerty are quoted on the film’s IMDb page as saying that the film’s most disturbing scenes were not in the original screenplay; “We threw most of the script out the window once we got to the desert and rewrote based on the actual personalities of our actors. If it feels real, that may be why.”
Children Of Sorrow, an After Dark Films Original is set for release March 4, 2014 on DVD, Digital HD and VOD from Lionsgate Home Entertainment.
European viewers will have their introduction to Children Of Sorrow this Fall when the film screens at Europe’s largest Horror Con, The Weekend Of Horrors in Germany, where Oberst will be a celebrity guest. So everyone get ready to schreien wie kleine Mädchen (hope that translates to “scream like little girls”)!
