A new trailer for the Lucile Hadzihalilovic-directed dramatic horror film Evolution has been released and can be seen above. The film will be coming out via IFC Midnight in the UK this May and a US release will follow.
Personally, I’m in love with trailers like this. Instead of using a ton of lines from the film to try and explain everything to me (and sometimes explaining too much), they focus on sound design and music to raise the level of intrigue. I’m sold here because I want to know what happens.
“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.“
