Ben Lovett (The Night House, Hellraiser, The Ritual, The Signal, The Wind, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, The Old Ways) has provided the original score for the upcoming horror thriller Pendulum. The film marks the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Mark Heyman (Black Swan, Strange Angels) and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Phoebe Dynevor, Norman Reedus and Jacki Weaver. The movie follows a married couple as they journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event, and must determine if the group’s spiritual practices offer genuine healing or mask a terrifying truth that threatens to consume them both. Heyman also wrote the screenplay and is producing the project with Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Whale) for Protozoa, Jacob Jaffke (X, Pearl) & Élan Klein Jaffke for Motel Mojave, Dave Caplan (Longlegs, The Monkey) for C2, as well as Will Greenfield (Euphoria, Poetic License). Pendulum is set to be released in theaters nationwide on January 1, 2027 by Vertical.
