Suspense Thriller ‘The Desperate Hour’ Starring Naomi Watts Plays Out in Real Time [Trailer]
Looking like a tense episode of “24,” the upcoming suspense thriller The Desperate Hour received a brand new official trailer today, along with a release date and poster art.
Unfolding in real time, The Desperate Hour is said to be a “riveting and pulse pounding” thriller from award-winning director Phillip Noyce (Sliver, The Bone Collector, Salt).
“Recently widowed mother Amy Carr (Academy Award®-nominee Naomi Watts) is doing her best to restore normalcy to the lives of her young daughter and teenage son in their small town. As she’s on a jog in the woods, she finds her town thrown into chaos as a shooting takes place at her son’s school.
“Miles away, on foot in the dense forest, Amy desperately races against time to save her son.”
The film comes to Theaters & On Demand February 25. Watch the trailer below.
Chris Sparling (Buried, Greenland) wrote the film, formerly titled Lakewood.
Up next from indie director Bruce Wemple (Monstrous, Dawn of the Beast) comes The Hangman, which will release in limited theaters on May 31 before it hits VOD June 6.
In Dread’s latest horror movie, “During a camping trip from hell, a father battles a murderous cult and a bloodthirsty demon, known as The Hangman, to save his kidnapped son.”
Lindsey Dresbach, Richard Lounello, Jefferson Cox, Daniel Martin Berkey and Mar Cellus star.
Here’s the full synopsis: “To mend their troubled relationship, a middle-aged door-to-door salesman, Leon (LeJon Woods), takes his teenage son on a camping trip into deep rural Appalachia. Little do they know of the mountainous region’s sinister secrets. A local cult has summoned an evil demon born of hate and pain, known to them as The Hangman, and now the bodies have begun to pile up. Leon wakes up in the morning to discover that his son is missing.”
“To find him, Leon must face the murderous cult and the bloodthirsty monster that is The Hangman.”
Director Bruce Wemple said in a statement, “We set out to tell a story about the lengths a father will go to get his son back, including coming face to face with a bloodthirsty demon raised from hell. We can’t wait for audiences to come along for the ride.”
