IFC will release the Lucile Hadzihalilovic-directed dramatic horror film Evolution on VOD and in limited theaters this Friday, November 25th. Other than The Eyes of My Mother, this body horror flick is one of the best international horror films of the year.
Bloody Disgusting is excited to share this exclusive clip that’s straight up chilling. In the footage a nurse opens up a little boy and removes a trio of what look like fetuses. While it’s unclear what’s happening in this sequence, the nurse puts them in a jar and then stores it on a shelf that looks like something out of an Alien film. The clip itself is straight up Cronenberg.
“In ‘Evolution’, 10-year-old Nicolas lives with his mother in a village on a remote island inhabited solely by women and young boys. In a hospital overlooking the ocean, all the boys are subjected to a mysterious medical treatment. Only Nicolas questions what is happening around him. He senses that his mother is lying to him, and is determined to find out what she does with the other women at night, on the beach. What he discovers is the beginning of a nightmare into which he is helplessly drawn.“
Max Brebant, Roxane Duran and Julie-Marie Parmentier star in Evolution, which is the perfect creepy, crawly horror film to digest all of that Thanksgiving grub to.
Evolution opens in theaters in select cities and on demand on Friday, November 25th, courtesy of IFC Midnight.
