The film may be on late tonight but we highly recommend checking it out.
Our TV movie pick for tonight (Saturday, 1 June) is February, the acclaimed 2015 mystery horror thriller also known as The Blackcoat’s Daughter in some territories.
Told over multiple timelines, the film primarily focuses on two girls (Kiernan Shipka and Lucy Boynton) who, after being left behind at their boarding school over winter break, are plagued by a mysterious evil force – one which leaves long-lasting consequences.
Co-starring Emma Roberts as a mysterious young woman impacted by the events at the school, February was the feature debut of writer-director Osgood Perkins – who is also behind this year’s much-anticipated horror thriller Longlegs and is the son of Psycho star Anthony Perkins.
And his debut cemented the filmmaker as a talent to watch thanks to its atmospheric wintry setting, its creepy performances, its twisty screenplay and one of the most haunting endings of recent years.
February is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning at 1.25am on Film4. It is also available to rent on Google Play and Rakuten TV.
