The Banished, the new feature from Joseph Sims-Dennett (Bad Behaviour), hits select theaters and on VOD today, July 18, via Brainstorm Media, and we're bringing you a creepy exclusive clip of the eerie Aussie folk horror to celebrate.

Previously known as Baal, in The Banished:

“After her brother mysteriously goes missing, Grace ventures into the dangerous wilderness to find him. As she uncovers the horrific truth of his disappearance, she is faced with a darkness which threatens to claim her as well.”

Meg Clarke, Leighton Cardno, Gautier Pavlovic-Hobba, Tony Hughes, and Diane Smith star in the pic, which premiered last year at Beyond Fest.

The Banished joins the Philippou brothers' Bring Her BackThe Surfer and Dangerous Animals as hot Australian horror titles in 2025.

Check out our exclusive clip, plus a previously released poster, of The Banished below and make sure you don't go wandering off into the woods with any mysterious masked strangers…
