As it relates to genre mashups, folk horror and westerns are not a common overlap. Generally speaking, one of the genre’s “weaknesses” is the lack of horrors westerns save for a few. While that trend may be changing, one area we haven’t seen much, if any exploration is how folk and religious horror would play out in the times of Oregon Trails and traveling preachers. Thanks to Miracle Media, we can now add “Thine Ears Shall Bleed” to that short, but mighty list.

“Thine Ears Shall Bleed” is set to release on 15th of July in the UK, and you can check out the trailer, synopsis, and stills below to get a better sense of the awesome power of Diety dialogue!

Say your prayers for Thine Ears Shall Bleed, a chillingly haunting new horror that sees a minister and his family experience unholy terror in the wilds of the American West. This fearsome feature from director Ben Bigelow hits UK digital platforms on 15 July, thanks to Miracle Media.

It’s the 1860s and a religious family are travelling across the western states in a covered wagon. Ezekiel (Andrew Hovelson Shades of Blue) and Sarah (Hannah Cabell – Law & Order, The Blacklist), along with their children Abigail (Lea Zawada – FBI: Most Wanted) and Luke (Duke Huston), hear a mysterious sound from the woods, which they believe to be a calling from God. They begin to worship it... but it’s not long before their faith turns to unimaginable terror.

What they believed to be divine is far more sinister and they soon realise that they’ve welcomed an ungodly presence into their lives. Will their faith in the almighty deliver them from evil?

Whispers should never be heard, or Thine Ears Shall Bleed.
