Cool Trailer For a Social Mind Control Sci-Fi Horror Thriller Titled PERIPHERAL

I’ve got an interesting trailer to share with you today for an upcoming sci-fi horror thriller titled Peripheral. The movie looks like it tells a twisted and psychedelic story that follows a young woman who becomes tangled up in a conspiracy of social mind control.

Here’s the synopsis:

Bobbi Johnson (Hannah Arterton) is a young literary sensation facing her difficult second novel. Already dealing with a crazed stalker and her junkie ex-boyfriend, Bobbi is convinced by her publisher to use new smart editing software and finds herself going head-to-head with an artificial intelligence determined to write her book for her. As the machine manipulates her work to suit its own nefarious ends, Bobbi begins to realise that she is being controlled in ways far more sinister than she suspected. She may, in fact, be a pawn in a conspiracy of social mind control. Too far down the rabbit hole to turn back, Bobbi must keep writing, fighting her own addictions and hallucinations as she rushes to beat her deadline without selling her soul in the process and becoming a cog in a monstrous machine. 

The movie was directed by SFX artist and filmmaker Paul Hyett who has worked on films such as Attack the Block, The Woman in Black, Centurion, The Eagle, and several other films. 

The movie also stars Tom Conti, Elliot James Langridge, Rosie Day, and Jenny Seagrove. The movie will be released in "virtual cinemas" and on VOD in the UK starting on August 3rd. There’s currently no US release date. It looks like it’ll be a cool movie, though, worth checking out.
