Overview
- The red-band trailer, released Monday, Aug. 17, shows graphic imagery of spiders in ceilings, air ducts, corpses and a sequence that suggests spiders in a person’s mouth.
- Roadside Attractions and Saban Films confirmed a nationwide theatrical release on October 16 after the film was briefly dated for October 2.
- Matilda Lutz stars as Serena and the film is directed by Ángel Gómez Hernández from a Jayson Rothwell screenplay, with production credited to Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Scott Strauss and other Badlands partners.
- The film runs 81 minutes and is billed as the first feature from the new Badlands collaboration, with Saban Films co-presidents describing it as a raw, unapologetic genre picture aimed at horror audiences.
- Marketing’s shock-focused approach centers on arachnophobia-driven thrills, which could sharpen the film’s appeal during the Halloween season and prompt warnings for viewers sensitive to intense creature imagery.
