Nerve-Wracking Trailer For Ben Foster's Thriller SHARP CORNER
Vertical has released the trailer for an upcoming thriller titled Sharp Corner, which stars Ben Foster as a dedicated family man named Josh who becomes obsessed with saving the lives of the car accident victims on the sharp corner in front of his house, an obsession that could cost him everything.
In the film, “On the night they move from the city into a sprawling suburban home, parents Josh and Rachel (Cobie Smulders) are jolted by a car crashing into the tree on their front lawn, killing the driver and also injuring his passengers.
“And once Josh discovers the accidents are a regular occurrence due to the design of the road, he becomes obsessed with being ready to save the next victims... to the exclusion of everything else.
“As his sick obsession takes hold, he places his wife and son in jeopardy, threatening to permanently break the family apart.”
“Foster holds us in a state of queasy apprehension as Josh’s impulsive, sanctimonious dedication to learning CPR and policing the street start to form a pattern of privileged overconfidence — or maybe it’s deluded competence. Foster has played tightly wound characters before, but it is a higher, unsettling gear.”
The movie was directed by Jason Buxton and it also stars Cobie Smulders, Gavin Drea, and William Kosovic. It's based on the short story by Russell Wangersky, and it looks like an intriging and well-made film
The movie will be released on VOD on May 9th, 2025.
