A Deadly Monster Terrorizes in Gruesome New Trailer For Guillermo del Toro's ANTLERS
A new trailer has been unleashed for producer Guillermo del Toro and director Scott Cooper’s upcoming horror film Antlers. This thing is filled with gruesome and disturbing new footage that horror fans are going to love!
This is a crazy and messed up looking film and it’s an adaptation of a short story, The Quiet Boy, from Channel Zero creator Nick Antosca. The film stars Keri Russell as a school teacher in a small-town who begins to suspect something is seriously wrong with one of her young students. Here’s the brief plot summary that was shared:
In ANTLERS, a small-town Oregon teacher (Russell) and her brother (Jesse Plemons), the local sheriff, discover that a young student (Jeremy T. Thomas) is harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences.
When talking about the influence of the film, Copper explained, “I was so influenced early on by the work of John Carpenter, like Halloween, or certainly The Exorcist, which is a favorite of mine, or even Tarkovsky’s Stalker. So I’m able to bring all of that into one film which is exciting.” He went on to say:
“[Guillermo] said I’ve obviously never seen you direct a horror film, but there’s a lot of horrific moments in your movies, so I’m more interested in someone who doesn’t work in that genre to step into it. Which is I guess a bit like Friedkin in a sense, having not directing in that genre before he took on The Exorcist…[Guillermo is] fantastic and so supportive and wildly imaginative, so it’s really been a great collaboration.”
Antlers is set to be released on April 17th, 2020 and I can’t wait to see it! I’m curious to see what’s actually going on in this story and how it will play out.
