The 1900-set story turns new household duties into an investigation of a haunting.
Reverend Henry Bull and his sister Kitty take over duties at their family home in Borley Rectory: The Awakening. Set in 1900, the film makes that responsibility the starting point for a supernatural threat to the household. Official trailer producer’s synopsis.
The house is presented as a Victorian mansion in Essex, built on an earlier monastery site. As the disturbances intensify, the siblings seek help from a family friend to investigate the ghosts associated with the property. Official trailer producer’s synopsis.
The film draws its setting from Borley Rectory’s haunting reputation. Its demonic activity and threatening spirits belong to the dramatized narrative; a reputation for haunting does not establish those events as historical fact. Official trailer producer’s synopsis.
Steven M. Smith directs and shares a writing credit with Christopher Jolley. Julian Glover, Patsy Kensit, Helen Lederer, Vicki Michelle, and Mark Wingett appear in the cast. The story begins with maintaining a family property and changes into an effort to understand what appears to inhabit it. Official platform credits. Official trailer producer’s synopsis.
