ESX Entertainment’s upcoming horror film The Necklace has expanded its cast, welcoming Christina Moore and Brynne Kurland. They join a star-studded lineup that includes Madeleine and Violet McGraw, Sarah Lind, Felix Solis, and Jacob Moran.
Plot Overview of The Necklace
Set in 1960, The Necklace tells the eerie story of the Davis family and their unsettling experiences. Written by John Ducey and directed by Juan Pablo Arias Muñoz, the film begins with Laura Davis (Sarah Lind) separating from her husband Frank due to his volatile, alcohol-induced behavior. As Laura returns to work as a nurse, her daughters, 11-year-old Ellen (Violet McGraw) and 16-year-old Judy (Madeleine McGraw), grapple with their new family dynamic.
The plot thickens when Frank attempts to win Laura back by giving her an antique necklace. Unbeknownst to him, the necklace houses the vengeful spirit of a troubled boy, placing Laura and her daughters in grave danger.
Christina Moore plays Ruth, a woman desperate to conceive a child. She turns to a midwife involved in witchcraft, and in her quest to become a mother, she dons the cursed necklace, leading to devastating consequences.
