New Abandoned trailer proves a house can be too haunted

Early in the trailer for Abandoned, Emma Roberts’ Sara and her husband, Alex (John Gallagher Jr.), are informed about the checkered past of their potential new home. In response, Sara says “You know I don’t mind a little haunting.” Those may prove to be famous last words. Although if we had to take a bet, Sara’s last words might be some kind of blood-curdling scream.

As the trailer reveals, Sara had psychological issues long before she moved into their new home. This calls into question whether she’s actually experiencing a haunting, or if her mind is playing tricks on her. It doesn’t help that her creepy neighbor (as played by Michael Shannon) also has a questionable history with the house. But this is first and foremost a horror story, and it just wouldn’t be complete without a few ghosts.

Here’s the description of the film from Vertical Entertainment:

“Abandoned follows the sharply intense lives of Sara (Emma Roberts), her husband Alex (John Gallagher Jr.), and their infant son as they move into a remote farmhouse, which harbors a dark, tragic history. As their home’s past is revealed, the mother’s fragility escalates to a state of psychosis that jeopardizes her own safety and that of her newborn son.”

Spencer Squire directed Abandoned from a script he co-wrote with Erik Patterson and Jessica Scott. It will get a one-week theatrical exclusive run on June 17. Seven days later, on June 24, Abandoned will be available on-demand and through digital outlets.

Robert Rodriguez is a director who can't easily be placed in a specific category or box. He's made family-friendly films like Spy Kids, noir crime thrillers like Sin City, and blockbuster action movies like Alita: Battle Angel. His newest film, the sci-fi thriller Hypnotic, just had its international premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and is now available on-demand in the U.S.

In the movie, Ben Affleck plays a detective who suffers from grief and trauma over his missing daughter. However, a mysterious clue left behind at a bank heist sends him on a cat-and-mouse chase with the man he believes has his daughter. But with mind control and false realities all in play, nothing in Hypnotic is as it seems. Halfway through the film, a major twist completely changes everything the audience thinks they know and alters the entire trajectory of the story.
