Hitting DirecTV exclusively on February 16th is Osgood Perkins’ The Blackcoat’s Daughter, an atmospheric thriller about demonic possession and the emotional aftermath that follows an attack at a private school. The film stars Emma Roberts, Kiernan Shipka, and Lucy Boynton, who all deliver incredible performances.

Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with Perkins about what inspired his approach to The Blackcoat’s Daughter, his experiences collaborating with his talented ensemble, and whether or not he’ll be returning to the world of horror for his third directorial project (his other feature film, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, is currently available on Netflix).

Look for The Blackcoat’s Daughter on DirecTV beginning February 16th, with a subsequent theatrical rollout to follow on March 31st from A24.

Congrats on the film, Oz. What I enjoyed about this film is that it has a lot...
