Great Trailer for Naomi Watts's 1977 New York City Paranoia Thriller THE WOLF HOUR
I’ve got a trailer here for an interesting paranoia thriller called The Wolf Hour. The movie is set in 1977 and stars Naomi Watts as a woman named June who refuses to leave her apartment as New York City finds itself in complete chaos.
New York City is “awash with escalating violence. A citywide blackout is triggering fires, looting, and countless arrests, and the Son of Sam murders are riddling the city with panic. June, once a celebrated counterculture figure, attempts to retreat from the chaos by shutting herself inside the yellowed walls of her grandmother’s South Bronx apartment. But her doorbell is ringing incessantly, the heat is unbearable, and creeping paranoia and fear are taking hold. Visitors, some invited, some unsolicited, arrive one by one, and June must determine whom she can trust and whether she can find a path back to her former self.”
This movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, but I didn’t get a chance to see it while I was there. After watching this trailer, I wish I would have made the effort! This is actually a great trailer, and it makes me want to see the movie. I dig the unhinged vibe that the trailer gives off.
There’s no U.S. release date for The Wolf Hour, but when it does come out, I’ll definitely be watching it! Check out the trailer for yourself and tell us what you think. The film was directed by Alistair Banks Griffin.
