Key Points<\/h2>\n\n- Sophie Turner and Kit Harington reunite in ‘The Dreadful,’ set in 15th-century England.<\/li>\n
- The film is inspired by the 1964 Japanese horror classic ‘Onibaba.’<\/li>\n
- Playing lovers was awkward for the actors given their sibling roles in ‘Game of Thrones.’<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Two Game of Thrones<\/a> stars are reuniting, but they\u2019re not in Westeros anymore. Instead, Sophie Turner and Kit Harington<\/a> are playing Medieval English peasants in an upcoming movie based on an acclaimed Japanese horror movie from the 1960s.\u00a0<\/p>\nIn The Dreadful, which hits theaters and VOD on February 20, Turner plays a young woman living in England in the 15th century during a War of the Roses, an era when the country was torn apart and at odds with each other. She\u2019s living in a fairly remote part of the country with her mother-in-law (Marcia Gay Harden), but their meager existence gets complicated when Harington\u2019s character, who used to live in the area, returns from war. Before long, a curse involving a spooky night further complicates things in this gothic horror. Entertainment Weekly<\/a> published first-look photos of the movie on Tuesday.<\/p>\nThe film\u2019s plot is based on Onibaba, a 1964 Japanese folk horror movie about a young woman and her mother-in-law living in 14th-century Japan<\/a> when wars amongst samurai have torn the land apart. Set almost entirely in a swamp amidst tall grass that sways in the wind, Onibaba is an extremely cool-looking and haunting film. It\u2019s widely regarded as a horror classic, and Willem DaFoe considers Onibaba to be his favorite film. It remains to be seen what aspects of the movie that are specific to Japanese history and culture will need to be altered for the English-set The Dreadful.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cI can tell you that it\u2019s based on Onibaba, which is an amazing film,\u201d Turner told Collider<\/a>. \u201cit is loosely based around that. I would say it\u2019s a bit like The Green Knight. It\u2019s kind of supernatural and weird and really scary.\u201d<\/p>\nThe Dreadful is written and directed by Natasha Kermani, an Iranian-American filmmaker who previously made Abraham\u2019s Boys and Lucky.<\/p>\n
