EXCLUSIVE: Oscar winner Vanessa Redgrave and husband Franco Nero are leading cast in under-the-radar social thriller, The Estate, which has wrapped filming in the UK.

The film will chart the story of the Wellsleys, an aristocratic family unable to save their ancestral estate because of debts. As they struggle to find a solution, a series of disturbing apparitions begin to haunt them, forcing the Wellsleys to confront the deep injustices they and other landowners, past and present, have wrought. Below is a first-look image.
