Genetically Engineered Plants Start To Cause Trouble in Eerie Trailer For LITTLE JOE
If sci-fi and horror movies have taught us anything, it’s when people start to screw around with mother nature and genetically engineer things, life for those involved takes a sinister turn and terrible things start to happen.
In this upcoming eerie sci-fi thriller titled Little Joe, a plant breeder genetically engineers a plant creating a crimson flower that is supposed to enhance people’s moods and make them feel good. But, as you might expect, things take an unsettling turn when the plant goes bad as people begin to be infected by the plant and they start acting strangely.
The movie was directed by Jessica Hausner and stars Emily Beecham, Ben Whishaw, Kerry Fox and Kit Connor. Here is the synopsis for Little Joe:
LITTLE JOE follows Alice (Emily Beecham), a single mother and dedicated senior plant breeder at a corporation engaged in developing new species. She has engineered a special crimson flower, remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its therapeutic value: if kept at the ideal temperature, fed properly and spoken to regularly, this plant makes its owner happy. Against company policy, Alice takes one home as a gift for her teenage son, Joe. They christen it ‘Little Joe.’ But as their plant grows, so too does Alice’s suspicion that her new creation may not be as harmless as its nickname suggests.
Little Joe seems like a mix of Gremlins and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It opens in theaters on December 6, 2019.
