My thanks to the fine lads at 24fps for spotting this one. Dorothy Mills is an upcoming paranormal horror flick that’s been largely flying under the radar so far but has a growing wave of buzz around it. The picture has already found a US home and judging from the responses of a handful of people I know who saw market screenings of the film in Cannes this could well be one of the sleeper films of the year. It’s the story of a psychologist sent to a remote community to treat a troubled young girl at the center of a series of disturbing events but when the doctor arrives it doesn’t take her long to realize that whatever is troubling the girl is well beyond the scope of her schooling and that the the locals may well be correct in fearing the girl has been possessed.
Though the film was shot in English the French are the first to get a trailer out there and it features a dub in that language. So you don’t get the full impact of the actual performances but you do geta good sense of the look and feel of the thing and that is impressive indeed.

Love this poster. Reminds me of the work Asterik Studio did on the Norma Jean cd _Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child_ a while back.
the trailer isn’t shabby either. there is one on youtube that’s in English w/ French subs. Seems to be a nice blend of possession and, possibly, cult activity. Hmmm..._Wicker Man_? Some nice visuals in the trailer.

Those kind of movies are truly the creepiest ones! I’m not even sure I’ll dare to watch this one. There is smth really disturbing in it.

Did they just use a Lux Aeterna knockoff?
