First Look at ‘High Tension’ and ‘Crawl’ Director Alexandre Aja’s New Netflix Horror Movie ‘O2’
Netflix will be unleashing a ton of original movies in 2021 (*at least* one per week), including several new horror movies. In the mix is French filmmaker Alexandre Aja‘s (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D, Crawl) thriller O2, and we’ve got your first look today.
Mélanie Laurent, Mathieu Amalric and Malik Zidi star.
In the film, “A young woman wakes up in a medical cryo unit. She doesn’t remember who she is or how she ended up sequestered in a box no larger than a coffin. As she’s running out of oxygen, she must rebuild her memory to find a way out of her nightmare.”
Christie Leblanc wrote the script. The producers for Aja’s latest genre film include Vincent Maraval, Brahim Chioua, Noëmie Devide, Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
