Briarcliff Entertainment has unveiled the trailer for The Thing with Feathers.

The film marks the debut narrative film from Dylan Southern and stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Boxall and Henry Boxall. 

It follows “a widower (Cumberbatch) who is left to raise two young sons after the unexpected death of his wife. The man’s life is unraveling because of the grief that takes the form of an unhinged and unwanted houseguest – a crow – that taunts him from the shadows.”

It is produced by Andrea Cornwell of Lobo Films (Love Lies Bleeding), and Leah Clarke and Adam Ackland of SunnyMarch Productions (We Live in Time, The Mauritanian), with backing from Film4 and the BFI (awarding National Lottery funding), in association with Align, Uncommon Creative Studio, mk2 Films, and Rank and File, co-produced with Film I Vast and Filmgate Films.

Briarcliff will release The Thing With Feathers November 28, 2025.
