New Trailer for Horror 'The Quiet Ones' Starring Jared Harris and Sam Claflin



Sometimes the old tricks are still the best ones. Old school horror label Hammer did pretty well with The Woman in Black a couple of years ago, well enough that the Daniel Radcliffe-led genre film has a sequel on the way. But the studio also has another creep fest in The Quiet Ones, and it'll attempt to spook you without the use of found footage or excessive gore.

A third trailer has been released for the film led by Jared Harris, Olivia Cooke, and Sam Claflin, which kicks off when a bunch of students try to create their own poltergeist. Of course it goes disastrously wrong, and the supernatural force they unleashed could prove unstoppable. This definitely fits with the Hammer mold, and with Oren Moverman (The Messenger, Rampart) having worked on the script there's even more reason to check it out.

Directed by John Pogue, The Quiet Ones opens April 25th.

New Trailer for Hammer Film Horrors'The Quiet Ones' Starring Sam Claflin



Coming off the huge success of The Woman in Black, the revitalized Hammer Films is coming back with a new horror, The Quiet Ones. Starring Jared Harris, Olivia Cooke, Erin Richards, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire's Sam Claflin, the supernatural horror is supposedly based on true events surrounding an experiment to create a poltergeist out of dark human energy. Do people realize their soon-to-be disastrous experiments are going to end up the stuff of low-budget thrillers as they're doing them? Probably not.

Directed by John Pogue, The Quiet Ones opens April 11th. Check out the trailer and full synopsis below.



PLOT: A university student (Sam Claflin of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) and some classmates are recruited to carry out a private experiment — to create a poltergeist. Their subject: an alluring, but dangerously disturbed young woman (Olivia Cooke of Bates Motel). Their quest: to explore the dark energy that her damaged psyche might manifest. As the experiment unravels along with their sanity, the rogue PHD students are soon confronted with a terrifying reality: they have triggered an unspeakable force with a power beyond all explanation. Inspired by true events, The Quiet Ones is directed by John Pogue from a screenplay by Craig Rosenberg and Oren Moverman and John Pogue, and based on a screenplay by Tom de Ville.
