‘Thine Ears Shall Bleed’ – A New Horror Set in the Wild West

Prepare yourself for the chilling horror of Thine Ears Shall Bleed, a haunting new film from director Ben Bigelow, set to hit UK digital platforms on 15 July, courtesy of Miracle Media. This fearsome feature promises to deliver an unforgettable experience, blending historical drama with supernatural terror.

Set in the 1860s, Thine Ears Shall Bleed follows a devout religious family as they travel across the western states in a covered wagon. The family, led by minister Ezekiel (Andrew Hovelson) and his wife Sarah (Hannah Cabell), along with their children Abigail (Lea Zawada) and Luke (Duke Huston), encounter a mysterious sound emanating from the woods. Believing it to be a divine call, they begin to worship it, only to find their faith leading them into unimaginable horror.

What starts as a journey of faith soon turns into a nightmare as the family realises that what they believed to be a heavenly presence is something far more sinister. The ungodly entity they have welcomed into their lives begins to wreak havoc, challenging their faith and testing their will to survive. The question remains: will their belief in the almighty be enough to deliver them from evil?

Thine Ears Shall Bleed is not just another horror film; it is a deeply atmospheric and psychological thriller that delves into themes of faith, fear, and the supernatural. The film is directed by Ben Bigelow, whose screenplay The Desert was a 2019 Academy Nicholl Fellowship Semifinalist. Bigelow’s talent for storytelling and creating suspenseful atmospheres is evident in this latest feature, making it a must-watch for horror enthusiasts.

Ben, along with William Bigelow, has crafted a screenplay that aims to be both a tribute to classic horror and a fresh take on the genre.

The cast includes Andrew Hovelson, known for his role in Shades of Blue, plays the pious yet troubled Ezekiel, while Hannah Cabell, familiar from The Good Fight, Law and Order and Mr. Robot, portrays Sarah, his devoted wife. Lea Zawada, from FBI: Most Wanted, and Duke Huston deliver compelling performances as the children caught in the terrifying ordeal.

Thine Ears Shall Bleed becomes available on UK digital platforms on 15 July. Check out the trailer below for a taste of what lies in store.
