Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at the trailer for The Man In the Shadows, premiering at the Dances with Films Festival in Los Angeles on June 1.
Based on the worldwide phenomenon, the pic directed by Josh Fraiman stars Sarah Jurgens, Nick Baillie, and Adam Tomlinson.
“Rachel Darwin (Sarah Louise Jurgens) is pregnant, shackled, giving birth to something terrible, attended to by a dark man in a brimmed hat. She struggles to wake, opens her eyes and he is there. The next day she finds out she’s not alone, many others see that Hat Man too.
Her husband, Scott (Nick Baillie), believes her but thinks there is a scientific explanation. Sleep paralysis. Electromagnetically induced hallucinations.
Rachel speaks of the Hat Man at group therapy. The addicts and loners reject her, except for William (Adam Tomlinson, who also produced the film). He believes her more than she believes herself.
Multidimensional beings, shadows that feed upon human souls etc.
Scott’s frustration builds as Rachel’s sanity slips. She slips into an intoxicated dream confronted by horrors of her past. The nightmares are getting worse.
It becomes harder to know what is real and what is not, and that includes the Hat Man.“
