Arrow Films has announced the long-awaited release for Ready or Not star Mark O'Brien's religious psychological chiller The Righteous, an award-winning stand out on the genre festival circuit.
Arrow Films is planning a June 10th digital release in the UK, US and Ireland on ARROW, the brand's SVOD service. A Blu-ray release will follow on July 19th, 2022. You can check out the trailer below. This first feature from director-actor-writer O’Brien, The Righteous follows a burdened man who feels the wrath of a vengeful God, after he and his wife are visited by a mysterious stranger.
The full synopsis reads... "A unique and darkly engaging spiritual thriller, strikingly shot in black and white, The Righteous tells the story of Frederic (Henry Czerny) a grieving man struggling with his faith, who helps an injured young man, Aaron Smith (Mark O’Brien) who stumbles onto his property one night, claiming to be lost in the woods. Frederic and his wife (Mimi Kuzyk) invite the man to stay for the night, but Frederic soon begins to have doubts about this enigmatic stranger’s story - and his motives for being there. When Aaron asks Frederic to commit an unspeakable deed, it becomes clear that the man is not who he seems, and has been sent to test the very limits of Frederic’s existence."
The film stars O'Brien, Henry Czerny (Ready or Not, Mission Impossible, "Revenge") and Mimi Kuzyk (The Day After Tomorrow, The Final Cut, "Shadowhunters"). The Righteous was produced by Mark O’Neill and Allison White. Executive producers Marc Hamou, Walter Lawlor, David Miller and Mark O’Brien.
The Righteous had its World Premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival in 2021, winning the Cheval Noir and Silver Award, and has since gone on to win a Bloodie at the 2021 Blood in the Snow Film Festival, and the Grimmfest Award at the 2021 Grimmfest.
