THE PACT 2 Trailer

IFC has released the trailer for its upcoming horror sequel, The Pact 2, which opens on VOD September 5th and in theaters October 10th.  Although Nicholas McCarthy, the director of the original 2012 film, is not returning, Dallas Richard Hallam and Patrick Horvath, who directed the very interesting low-budget horror film Entrance, will be handling this one so I’m still on board.

If you haven’t seen the original film, I highly recommend checking it out, as it was one that unfortunately flew under the radar and deserves much more praise than it initially received. You may also want to avoid watching this trailer or reading the synopsis, as it contains some spoilers for The Pact.

Only a few weeks after Annie Barlow exterminated the plague that was the Judas Killer, we meet June Abbott, a woman whose carefully constructed life in Los Angeles is beginning to unravel due to lucid nightmares so awful they disturb her waking life.

When Special Agent Terrence Ballard, the FBI agent assigned to wrap up the case of the newly deceased Judas Killer, shows up at June’s door, he brings with him some terrifying news – there is a Judas copycat killer on the loose in her neighborhood! In the course of his investigation, Ballard shows June a picture of the copycat killer’s victim, and she is stunned to see that it’s the same woman she saw brutally murdered in her nightmares.

A series of hauntings begin to torment June, growing in frequency and ferocity over time. Now, not only does she see murder victims, but her dreams put herself in the role of the murderer. June fears that the spirit of the Judas Killer is the architect of some greater plan in which she must now play a part. June struggles to maintain her grip on sanity as she plunges into her own investigation of these events. No matter the result, the truth will be horrifying; either there is true evil inside of her, or someone, or something, is determined to destroy her…
