Filming has been taking place in Cornwall for the film, which is set against the backdrop of the War of the Roses and is written and directed by Natasha Kermani (Lucky, V/H/S/85).

Meanwhile, it's also been revealed that another actor with a Game of Thrones connection has joined the cast, with Laurence O’Fuarain – who appeared in a single episode in season 5 of the epic fantasy saga – added to the ensemble alongside Marcia Gay Harden (So Help Me Todd) and Jonathan Howard (Thor: The Dark World).

According to a synopsis, the film stars Turner as Anne, "a young woman enduring a solitary and harsh existence alongside her mother-in-law Morwen (Harden)".

It continues: "Their isolated life takes a dark turn when a man from their past, played by Harington, returns and sets off a chain of events that irrevocably alters Anne’s life."

The film is set to be distributed by True Brit Entertainment, with the company's CEO Zygi Kamasa explaining: "We’re excited to back our eighth British film in just over a year with this genuinely scary horror movie, which reunites two terrific British actors in Kit Harrington and Sophie Turner."

He added: "The horror genre has continued to be a standout performer in cinemas recently, and we want to expand our outreach to create more commercially successful British-led genre films of this nature from the industry."
