“She thinks that the holy spirit possess her, and gives her power.” A24 has unveiled the official trailer for a horror thriller titled The Front Room, marking the feature directorial debut of the Eggers Brothers – Max and Sam. They’re also brothers of the other filmmaker Robert Eggers (of The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman) and worked with him on a few of those films before making their own film. Opening in theaters this September. The Front Room is about a young, newly pregnant couple who is forced to take in an ailing, estranged stepmother. A24 describes it as: the incomparable Brandy returns to horror in a legendary face-off against Kathryn Hunter, the wickedest mother-in-law of them all. Starring singer / actress Brandy Norwood as Belinda, with Andrew Burnap, Neal Huff, and Kathryn Hunter. This looks like it’s inspired by Get Out, with some creepy racist vibes permeating all the horror. It’s kooky and frightening! Take a look.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for the Eggers Brothers’ film The Front Room, from A24’s YouTube:
Everything goes to hell for newly-pregnant Belinda (singer / songwriter / actress Brandy Norwood) after her mother-in-law (Kathryn Hunter) moves in. As the diabolical guest tries to get her claws on the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Belinda must draw the line somewhere… The Front Room is both written and directed by up-and-coming American filmmakers Max Eggers (who also co-wrote The Lighthouse) & Sam Eggers, also known as the Eggers Brothers (and brothers of the other filmmaker Robert Eggers), making their feature directorial debut after other production work previously. Produced by Babak Anvari, Lucan Toh, David Hinojosa, Julia Oh. This hasn’t premiered at any film festivals yet or elsewhere, as far as we know. A24 will release the Eggers Brothers’ The Front Room film in theaters starting on September 6th, 2024 later this year. Who’s down?
