Teresa Palmer is Thrust Into a Nightmarish Situation in the Trailer for BERLIN SYNDROME
If you're a fan of Teresa Palmer (Lights Out, Hacksaw Ridge, Warm Bodies), you're not going to want to miss Berlin Syndrome because she gives her best performance yet. I had a chance to see the movie at Sundance, and I thought it was a solidly made thriller. This is also a really great trailer that perfectly captures what this movie is.
While holidaying in Berlin, Australian photojournalist, Clare meets Andi, a charismatic local man and there is an instant attraction between them. A night of passion ensues. But what initially appears to be the start of a romance suddenly takes an unexpected and sinister turn when Clare wakes the following morning to discover Andi has left for work and locked her in his apartment. An easy mistake to make, of course, except Andi has no intention of letting her go again.
In my review, I said:
"The film is utterly brutal and extremely intense as we watch this young woman forced to survive in this horrific situation. This dude who locked her away has got some serious issues and as the story unfolds, Teresa unlocks some of the mysteries that he's been hiding from her."
There are some pretty demented twists and turns, and it does a great job of making the audience feel uncomfortable.
Berlin Syndrome comes from Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland (Somersault, Lore, The Silence), and it will be released sometime this year.
