Sometimes anticipation pays off. Way back in January, Lucile Hadzihalilovic‘s “Evolution” landed on our 20 Most Anticipated Foreign Films Of 2015 list, and when Nikola Grozdanovic saw it nine months later at TIFF, he was knocked over. “Hadzihalilovic creates a nightmarish lullaby that nestles itself into the unsuspecting viewer like some alien organism, engendered to haunt one’s mind with a phantasmagorical presence,” he said about the film in his review. And now, you can experience the sensation the film conjures with the first international trailer.
Starring Max Brebant, Roxane Duran, and Julie-Marie Parmentier, the film mixes body horror and fantasy in a story about the relationship between a young boy and his mother, both of whom live in a mysterious remote community. Here’s the synopsis:
Alchemy will release “Evolution” in U.S. cinemas next year. Watch below.
