PIGGY screened at Grimmfest 2022 and picked up FOUR Reaper Awards, now director Carlota Pereda is back with THE CHAPEL and Variety have shared a first-look at the film.
The flick focuses on “Emma, 8, who seeks out Carol, a fake medium, to communicate with the spirit of a little girl which has spent centuries trapped in a chapel.
“Contact, Emma thinks, will allow her to still talk to her own terminally ill mother when she dies. What Carol doesn’t realise is that Emma has a real gift and, if she goes on trying to use it without Carol’s help, will put her young life in mortal danger.”
Pereda describes THE CHAPEL as “a very personal story” about “how hard being a mother and daughter can be, how, sometimes, we don’t understand each other until we reach adulthood and, like in all ghost stories, it’s too late…. Or maybe, just maybe, this time, it isn’t.”
