Set in rural England in present day, The Gathering - an original screenplay
by Anthony Horowitz - centers on a first century church that is unearthed
near an English countryside town - Glastonbury, where a remarkable and
sinister mural is found.
At the same time, a young American backpacker (Cassie - Christina Ricci)
traveling through an English village finds herself involved in a car
accident while travelling through the (fictional) village of Ashby Wake,
and gladly accepts help from a female driver and her family only to
become drawn into their troubled lives.
In the aftermath of the accident, the girl begins to hallucinate and
believes terrifying strangers are following her, putting into question
as to whether the images are from a concussion or a newly found gift
of second sight, both of which might be connected to the church.
Production started on September 3rd, 2001 in England and the Isle of
Man on a budget of $18 million.
