A crazed killer makes the start of the pandemic even more scary in Sick trailer

Imagine it’s the winter of 2020, and that the deadly COVID-19 pandemic is the least of your problems. In the first trailer for Peacock’s Sick, two friends fight for their lives against a killer while quarantining.

It’s April 2020, and the pandemic is starting rear its ugly head. Two friends, Parker (Blockers’s Gideon Adlon) and Miri (And Just Like That’s Bethlehem Million), decide to quarantine at a secluded lakeside cabin. The two girls make the trip with their masks on and disinfectant sprays by their side. While at the house, Parker’s love interest, DJ (Dylan Sprayberry), shows up, thinking that quarantine could be “fun” if they spend it all together. Marc Menchaca (Ozark) and Jane Adams (Hacks) round out the cast.

The small party soon turns into a nightmare due to an unexpected visitor with bad intentions on his mind. The masked assailant attacks the group, stalking them throughout the entire house. Parker even manages to escape to the road by the end of the trailer, but the driver of a passing car refuses to let her in without a mask, saying it’s not safe despite there being a killer on the loose.

Ben Affleck and Robert Rodriguez pose for a photo.

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.
