To celebrate the completion of principal photography on Quentin Lee's supernatural thriller The Unbidden, we have a gorgeously dark set of new, exclusive stills to share.
The film follows "four best friends who get together for a spirit-settling seance the night before Halloween and are intruded upon by a young man who claims that one of them is his mother," according to the official synopsis. The intruder then "unravels a past crime that has been haunting them for two decades."
The Asian-American cast includes Tamlyn Tomita, Julia Nickson, Amy Hill, Elizabeth Sung, Jason Yee, Karin Anna Cheung, Kimberley Rose-Wolter, and Michelle Krusiec, with newcomers Akemi Look and Hayden Szeto rounding out the ensemble.
The film is the sixth feature by Lee, who has made dramas and comedies up until now. His taste for genre, however, was demonstrated in his excellent graphic novel Campus Ghost Story, so the supernatural thrills promised in The Unbidden are certainly within his wheelhouse.
The Unbidden aims to haunt film festivals this fall. You can check out the photos below; captions provided via an official statement.
