20 Upcoming Horror Movies That Made PERFECT Casting Choices
2. Rebecca Hall - A Head Full of Ghosts
Rebecca Hall is a phenomenal actress in any estimation, but in recent years she's delivered a number of top-tier performances in horror movies in particular, most notably The Night House and Resurrection.
Next, she'll co-star in A Head Full of Ghosts, the new film from Goodnight Mommy and The Lodge filmmakers Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala.
Based on Paul G. Tremblay's 2015 novel, the story follows a Massachusetts family whose daughter exhibits signs of mental illness, all while her parents come to believe she's possessed by a demon. And once the family appears on a reality TV show, this strange situation captures the general public's attention.
Hall will play the family's mother, Sarah, the most complex and conflicted character in the book, as she reckons with her guilt about exposing her daughter's strife to the wider world. The actress' knack for playing nuanced, layered, tortured characters is long-evident, so starring opposite David Harbour as her husband John, she'll surely have an absolute ball here.
