‘The Return’: When Your Imaginary Friend Haunts You [Trailer]
Upcoming horror/sci-fi hybrid The Return promises classic creepiness and space-time spooks in a teaser trailer premiere.
The film stars Richard Harmon (“The 100”, “I Still See You”, “Bates Motel”, “The Killing”, and “Continuum”) as Rodger Emmerlich, a gifted college student who comes home to find that time doesn’t heal all wounds. Forgotten childhood horrors rear their ugly heads as he and girlfriend Beth (Sara Thompson) deal with the fallout.
“The Return starts as classic haunted house film, and as it progresses, the science fiction edge starts to bleed through. We wanted to take the haunting sub-genre, and turn it on its ear,” says director BJ Verot.
The movie, Verot’s feature directorial debut through the Telefilm: Talent to Watch Program, also stars Echo Porisky (Channel Zero, Cheerleader Death Squad) and Marina Stephenson Kerr (Channel Zero, Cult of Chucky).
The Return is scheduled for festival release mid 2019.
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
