Trailer For The Horror Film THE FRONT ROOM Centers on the Wickedest Mother-in-Law of Them All
A24 has released the trailer for a wicked new horror thriller titled The Front Room, and it looks like it tells a twisted of a mother-in-law from hell.
The Front Room is about a young, newly pregnant couple who is forced to take in an ailing, estranged stepmother. “The incomparable Brandy returns to horror in a legendary face-off against Kathryn Hunter, the wickedest mother-in-law of them all.”
The synopsis reads: “Everything goes to hell for newly-pregnant Belinda (Brandy) after her mother-in-law (Hunter) moves in. As the diabolical guest tries to get her claws on the child, Belinda must draw the line somewhere...”
As you’ll see, things turn pretty dark and creepy quickly. I wonder if this is based on a true story! From my experience, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was.
The Front Room is written and directed by Max Eggers (co-writer of The Lighthouse) and Sam Eggers. They are the brothers of director Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, Nosferatu), and they worked with him on a few of those films.
The movie also stars Andrew Burnap and Neal Huff. It will be released in theaters on September 6th, 2024.
