Watch a marriage go to hell in SXSW horror film Jakob’s Wife

In Jakob’s Wife, actress Barbara Crampton plays Anne Fedder, the bored spouse of Larry Fessenden‘s southern pastor, Jakob.

“My character is long married to her husband and she’s settled into a kind of complacent marriage and union,” says the actress, whose many previous horror credits include 1985’s Re-Animator and 2015’s We Are Still Here, which also costarred Fessenden. “A horrible tragic thing happens that jolts her into an awakening, and she realizes all the things she hasn’t done, all the things she’s missed. She develops a thirst for life that she’s never felt before. It’s like if Marriage Story was a horror movie.”
