If you loved The Curse of Sleeping Beauty, try The Assent

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Pearry Reginald Teo, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Curse of Sleeping Beauty, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Assent is

The old house creaks in winter’s long dusk, a rocking chair rocking empty. Joel finds the walls smeared with something wet, his son whispering in a voice not his own. Father Lambert arrives with a stolen host and a list of the dead. The crucifix burns before it falls. A New French Extremity descendant mines the uncanny.
