The Banishing

In the charming English countryside during the year 1935, a shocking event occurred when the local vicar, driven by intense jealousy, brutally murdered his wife. Following his heinous act, he took his own life, leaving Morley Hall shrouded in tragedy and sorrow.

In the aftermath of the shocking murders, Bishop Malachi colluded with the town physician to conceal the truth about what transpired at Morley Hall. They worked tirelessly to silence the rumors and whispers among the unsettled townsfolk, ensuring that the dark events remained buried.

Years later, a new vicar named Linus Forster arrived at Morley Hall with his young bride, Marianne, and her seemingly innocent daughter, Adelaide. Unbeknownst to Linus, Adelaide was not who she appeared to be, and secrets loomed over their fresh start.

As the newlyweds settled into their new life, Linus struggled with intimacy, believing it to be sinful. The strains in their relationship were exacerbated by Adelaide's hidden truths and her role in the mystery enveloping Morley Hall.

While acclimating to their new home, the couple began experiencing eerie occurrences at Morley Hall. Adelaide started interacting with invisible presences and eerie dolls, while strange reflections appeared in the estate’s mirrors, creating an unsettling atmosphere.

As the disturbances continued, Marianne began encountering unsettling visions—shadowy figures that hinted at a violent fate for their deaf housekeeper, Betsy. These ominous signs pointed toward deeper, darker truths buried within the hall's history.

The occultist Harry Reed approached Linus with a dire warning about the malevolent past of Morley Hall, formerly home to the cruel Minassian Order. Harry’s foreboding message hinted that the estate had a way of turning its residents against each other.

As tensions escalated in the household, Harry became a source of intrigue for Marianne, drawing her closer to him. He urged her family to escape the looming dangers of Morley Hall, but Linus was fixated on uncovering the truth surrounding his predecessor’s mysterious demise.

An unsettling confrontation with Bishop Malachi revealed him as the true guardian of Adelaide. His chilling threats underscored the lengths to which he would go to maintain control, warning Marianne against any thoughts of leaving Morley Hall.

The situation escalated when Adelaide vanished after wandering into a mirror, prompting a frantic search led by Marianne. Linus, in a drunken haze, dismissed her frantic pleas for help, driving a wedge between the couple.

Helped by Harry, Marianne returned to Morley Hall only to uncover the bloody corpse of Betsy, slain by Linus in a trance-like state. This gruesome revelation mirrored the haunting visions that Marianne had endured and deepened the sense of foreboding in the house.

Harry explained that Adelaide’s abduction was tied to a vengeful spirit of a slain pregnant woman, a casualty of the Minassian monks’ dark rituals. As Marianne intensified her efforts to find Adelaide, she was forced to confront the estate's terrifying past.

Amid the chaos, Marianne found solace in Linus's newfound support, as he employed ancient rituals and mystical texts to combat the dark forces. Together, they prepared for a climactic confrontation with the spirits that haunted Morley Hall.

In the midst of the turmoil, Marianne made a solemn promise to the murdered woman and her unborn child to ensure they received a proper burial. This vow symbolized her commitment to facing the dark truths of Morley Hall and seeking redemption.

The film reached a chilling climax when Bishop Malachi was seen exhuming bodies for Nazi officials in Stuttgart. This shocking revelation about Morley Hall's sinister history left Marianne and the audience with a profound sense of dread and unease.
