The legendary ship Queen Mary is the subject of a new psychological horror film… Queen Mary and is governed by it Dracula Untold director Gary Shore.
Produced by Vertical Entertainment, the story follows the “mysterious and violent events surrounding one family’s voyage on Halloween night 1938 and how their fates are intertwined with that of another family on an ocean liner.”
The gripping story is said to “reveal the ship from the late 1930s to the present day and tell the story of two families whose lives become violently entangled”.
The cast of the film includes Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Joel Fry (Game of Thrones), Nell Hudson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), William Shockley (Death in Texas), and Lenny Rush (Am I being unreasonable?).
