“Peter Strickland is one of the most exciting and original filmmakers working today. He has a unique talent for making horror films that burrow deep into the back of your mind, films that are truly nightmarish: an uneasy mix of frightening, seductive, and funny,” A24 said in a statement. “With In Fabric, he’s taken his work to brilliant new heights and we can’t wait to share it with audiences.”

“In Fabric” stars Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Hayley Squires, Leo Bill, Julian Barratt, Steve Oram, and Gwendoline Christie.

It tells the story of a lonely woman (Jean-Baptiste), recently separated from her husband, who visits a London department store in search of a dress that will transform her life. She’s fitted with a perfect, dark red gown that unleashes a malevolent curse and unstoppable evil, threatening everyone that comes into its path.
