'THE LITTLE STRANGER'
TRAILER WITH DOMHNALL GLEESON, CHARLOTTE RAMPLING
First stop in our Period Set Monday is the first trailer for 1940's thriller THE LITTLE STRANGER which is out in cinemas this August and September
starring Domhnall Gleeson, Charlotte Rampling, Will Poulter and Ruth Wilson.
The Little Stranger arrives to cinemas this August |
THE LITTLE STRANGER tells the story of Dr Faraday, the son of a
housemaid, who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country
doctor. During the long hot summer of 1947, he is called to a patient at
Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to
the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline
and its inhabitants - mother, son and daughter - are haunted by
something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his
new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how terrifyingly, the
family's story is about to become entwined with his own.
'MARY SHELLEY' POSTER
HER GREATEST LOVE INSPIRED HER DARKEST CREATION
Meanwhile, a new poster (below) has been released for July costume drama MARY SHELLEY in which Elle Fanning plays the famous writer who is
remembered as the writer of Frankenstein. But the real life story of Mary Shelley, and the creation of her immortal monster, is nearly as fantastical as her fiction.
The movie is out in USA, July the rest of the world |
Raised by a renowned philosopher father (Stephen Dillane) in 18th century London, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Elle Fanning) is a teenage dreamer determined to make her mark on the world when she meets the dashing and brilliant poet Percy Shelley (Douglas Booth).
So begins a torrid, bohemian love affair marked by both passion and
personal tragedy that will transform Mary and fuel the writing of her
Gothic work. Imbued with the imaginative spirit of its heroine, Mary
Shelley brings to life
the world of a trailblazing woman who defied
convention and channelled her innermost demons into a legend for the
ages. Ben Hardy, Tom Sturridge, Hugh O'Connor, Jack Hickey play other
famous poets and writers of that time.
Mary Shelley is considered to be the mother of modern science fiction |
A house in decline - the ideal spot for a good thriller, even before considering the doctor's background (son of a housemaid) and his red moustache.
ReplyDeleteall elements for a thriller are there, too bad Domhnall is such a terrible actor.
DeleteReally looking forward to "Mary Shelley." And "The Little Stranger" looks suitably creepy too.
ReplyDeleteI think I will skip Mary, Elle's terrible accent is just so cringeworthy.
DeleteThe Little Stranger will be a good one for fall. We do like a thriller closer to Halloween.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is always much more thrilling than summer!
DeleteI think I would have nightmares after watching The Little Stranger. These kind of films get me much more than any old splatter movie!

funny how today's horror movie directors don't understand that suspense is much scarier than gore and monsters.
DeleteDon't know about the movie, but the Little Stranger's poster is really impressive...and Charlotte Rampling can't be bad!
