Focus Features has debuted the trailer for an upcoming movie that is being described as a ‘terrifying new vision in horror’. The film is written and directed by Jacob Chase and Come Play is a feature version of his 2017 short film Larry. This looks excellent – and absolutely terrifying.
Here’s the official words.
Newcomer Azhy Robertson stars as Oliver, a lonely young boy who feels different from everyone else. Desperate for a friend, he seeks solace and refuge in his ever-present cell phone and tablet. When a mysterious creature uses Oliver’s devices against him to break into our world, Oliver’s parents (Gillian Jacobs and John Gallagher Jr.) must fight to save their son from the monster beyond the screen. The film is produced by The Picture Company for Amblin Partners.
Come Play will land in cinemas on 30th October in US cinemas. I’m hoping that other territories follow.
