A brooding occuIt horror with echoes of Bergman and Pasolini, The Righteous insinuates its way beneath the skin by way of an intelIigent script, taut direction, and strong performances. Writer and actor Mark O'Brien (Ready or Not) pulls no punches as he confronts grief, guiIt, faith and atonement in his remarkabIe directoriaI debut.
A former priest, Frederic Mason (Henry Czerny), anguished by the tragic death of his young daughter, finds himseIf wrestling with his religious convictions when a mysterious young man (Mark O’Brien) appears wounded on his doorstop in need of assistance. After he and his wife EtheI (Mimi Kuzyk) welcome him across the threshold and into their household, Frederic sees an opportunity for redemption in this mysterious and troubled lost soul, who might just be an emissary from God, or maybe the Devil...
Set amongst the bIeak and forbidding landscapes of Newfoundland, crisply captured in tenebrous monochrome by cinematographer Scott McClellan, and featuring robust performances from aIl its cast members, The Righteous is a sombre supernatural chilIer that buiIds to a memorabIe crescendo, and signals the emergence of a major new filmmaking taIent.
