Guy Pearce & DeWanda Wise Face a Deadly Secret in Gritty Western Killing Faith

Guy Pearce leads a plague-ravaged 1849 Arizona in the haunting western Killing Fields.

A plague-ravaged Western with a deadly secret is riding into theaters this fall.

This October, saddle up for Killing Faith, a gritty, genre-twisting western from writer-director Ned Crowley (Middle Man). The story follows a young girl with a lethal touch and a dangerous secret—and the lengths others will go to protect her.

The film boasts a powerhouse cast including Academy Award® nominee Guy Pearce (The Brutalist), DeWanda Wise (Jurassic World Dominion), and Bill Pullman (Independence Day), alongside Raoul Trujillo (Blue Beetle), Jamie Neumann (21 Bridges), Jack Alcott (Dexter: New Blood), Joanna Cassidy (Blade Runner), and Emily Ford (Hold Your Breath).

Set in the plague-scorched deserts of 1849 Arizona Territory, Killing Faith is a haunting journey through a violent, sickness-stricken American West—where whispers of something darker loom and the promise of deliverance feels just out of reach.

The film opens exclusively in theaters October 3 from Shout! Studios, a Radial Entertainment Company.
