Shudder Finds Cosmic Infection Horror at ‘The Beach House’ This July [Trailer]
Looking like a cross between this year’s genre films Color Out of Space and Sea Fever, Jeffrey A. Brown‘s festival hit The Beach House is headed to Shudder on Thursday, July 9th.
Our own Daniel Kurland raved about Brown’s indie horror film in his 4-star review last year, writing that his directorial debut is “a powerful, emotional throwback to ‘50s sci-fi that presents a stunning glimpse of a parasitic invasion.” Kurland added, “[Brown] crafts a slick tale of invasion and destruction that’s both intimate and cosmically grand.”
In the film, “Escaping to a family’s beach house to reconnect, Emily and Randall find their off-season trip interrupted by Mitch and Jane, an older couple acquainted with Randall’s estranged father. Unexpected bonds form as the couples let loose and enjoy the isolation, but it all takes an ominous turn as increasingly strange environmental phenomena begin to warp their peaceful evening. As the effects of an infection become evident, Emily struggles to make sense of the contagion before it’s too late.”
Liana Liberato, Noah Le Gros, Jake Weber and Maryanne Nagel star.
Check out the trailer below, shared by EW today.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
