The Dreadful’ Trailer Reunites Sophie Turner and Kit Harington as Lovers

The film adapts Kaneto Shindō’s Onibaba into a War of the Roses tale.

Overview

  • PEOPLE debuted the first trailer on Jan. 15 following first-look images released the day before.
  • Turner plays Anne opposite Harington’s Jago in a 15th-century setting, with Marcia Gay Harden as the domineering Morwen.
  • Lionsgate set a Feb. 20 release in theaters and on digital, with an R rating for violence, bloody images and a sexual reference.
  • Writer-director Natasha Kermani leads the project, and Turner serves as a producer alongside Patrick Muldoon, Lucas Jarach, Luke Daniels, Patrick Hibler and Greg Lauritano.
  • Synopses describe isolation on the outskirts of society, a returned figure from Anne’s past and a mounting curse, while social-media reactions note discomfort with the pairing and Turner has described early kissing scenes as awkward.
