Rebecca Hall Tries To Debunk Supernatural In Trailer The Awakening

Media, Trailers

Rebecca Hall has had a number of strong films dotting her resume as of late, mainly in supporting roles, and now she’s in the lead as supernatural ghost hunter of sorts in The Awakening.

Plot Summary: A renowned author and debunker of hoaxes, Florence Cathcart (Rebecca Hall) is called to a provincial boarding school to explain away sightings of a phantom boy. What she discovers will prompt her to reconsider her deductive tactics — and send her mind spiraling back to a distant, forgotten past. Set in 1921, The Awakening belongs to a great English tradition of ghost stories that work their chills through psychology and suggestion.
