Samuel Goldwyn Films has unveiled the official trailer for Forgive Us All, an atmospheric neo-western movie that thrusts viewers into a haunting, post-apocalyptic version of New Zealand. Directed by Jordana Stott, the film is scheduled for theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
Starring Lily Sullivan (Evil Dead Rise), Callan Mulvey, Richard Roxburgh, Lance Giles, Bree Peters, Lawrence Makoare, and Dean O’Gorman, Forgive Us All offers a chilling look at survival in a world where hope has all but vanished. In this stark landscape, humanity is no longer a given but a choice—and a dangerous one at that.
The movie centers on a lone survivor, portrayed by Sullivan, who lives in isolation amid the mountains. Her quiet existence is upended when a wounded stranger (Lance Giles) arrives at her remote cabin, pursued by a ruthless authoritarian gang. As cannibalistic infected stalk the forests and chaos looms, both characters must decide if trust is worth the risk—or if solitude is the only path to survival.
Billed as a tale of “redemption in a world gone dark,” the film explores not only external threats, but also the moral decay of a fractured society.
The trailer hints at a genre-bending experience that blends western grit with horror and survival drama. The stark visuals, tight framing, and emotionally charged performances suggest a movie that straddles the line between visceral realism and psychological tension.
Co-written by director Jordana Stott and actor Lance Giles, Forgive Us All examines the collapse of civilization and the inner conflict of holding onto humanity in inhumane times. It’s a potent addition to the evolving movie genre of post-apocalyptic storytelling, offering something far more intimate than global disaster tropes: a raw confrontation with personal and communal survival.
With its evocative imagery and deeply human stakes, Forgive Us All may prove to be one of 2025’s most compelling entries for fans of movie characters forged in the fires of desperation.
