Trailer for the Creepy and Unique Horror Film THE NIGHT HOUSE Starring Rebecca Hall
Searchlight Pictures has released the first trailer for an upcoming horror thriller titled The Night House. The film comes from director David Bruckner (The Signal, The Ritual), and it stars Rebecca Hall (Iron Man 3). I had the opportunity to see the film at Sundance back in 2020, and it’s a creepy and unique horror film that I enjoyed.
In the film, “Reeling from the unexpected death of her husband, Beth (Hall) is left alone in the lakeside home he built for her. She tries as best she can to keep it together – but then nightmares come. Disturbing visions of a presence in the house calling to her, beckoning her with a ghostly allure. Against the advice of her friends, she begins digging into her husband's belongings, yearning for answers. What she finds are secrets both strange and disturbing – a mystery she's determined to unravel.”
The story leads to some interesting and unexpected twists and turns, and it offers up some great, legitimate scares. Bryam wrote in his review for the film: “There are some great cinematic effects that use the negative space in shots to create spooky figures and then it’s even creepier when the figure in the negative space moves. A great device to make an interesting, mysterious antagonist that honestly, I wish would have been used a little more. The mystery of what is going on is also very compelling. So many different what-ifs, that the film kept getting more interesting as it went on.”
The movie also stars Sarah Goldberg, Vondie Curtis Hall, Evan Jonigkeit, and Stacy Martin. Searchlight will debut the film in theaters on July 16th.
