After being announced that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has acquired North American physical and digital distribution rights to the Distant Horizon-produced suspense thriller Serpent, we now have the first trailer for the film premiering at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
Serpent follows a husband and wife on a romantic escape out in the wild that quickly turns deadly when they are trapped in a tent with a poisonous snake.
Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Amanda Evans, and starring Sarah Dumont (“Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse,” “Don Jon”) and Tom Ainsley (TVs “Versailles” and “The Royals”).
“When Adam’s grant is approved to research a rare species of South African beetle, his wife Gwen convinces him to bring her along in an effort to repair their rocky relationship and assuage her own secret guilt. Upon reaching the lush, forebodingly-named Suicide Gorge, Adam and Gwen settle in and set up camp. When their slumber is disturbed by the gut-wrenching revelation that a venomous Black Mamba is zipped inside the tent with them, the couple discovers that the harrowing physical threat they face is equally matched by a rapidly spiraling, dark and dangerous psychological showdown.”
