Writer-director David Robert Mitchell made everyone’s must-watch list after directing the new utter classic It Follows a few years back. And today we are here to talk about his new film, Under the Silver Lake.
The movie is being described as “a delirious neo-noir fever dream about one man’s search for the truth behind the mysterious crimes, murders, and disappearances in his East L.A. neighborhood” and a “sprawling, playful, and unexpected mystery-comedy detective thriller about the Dream Factory and its denizens—dog killers, aspiring actors, glitter-pop groups, nightlife personalities, ‘It’ girls, memorabilia hoarders, masked seductresses, homeless gurus, reclusive songwriters, sex workers, wealthy socialites, topless neighbors, and the shadowy billionaires floating above (and underneath) it all.”
The contemporary neo-noir thriller will hit theaters this June, and today we have the film’s trailer and poster for your viewing pleasure. Personally, the movie doesn’t look to be “horror,” like, at all. But just the fact that it is written and directed by David Robert Mitchell is enough to catch all horror fans’ attention. Bring it on, I say. Especially considering the press release name drops the film as “Mining a noir tradition extending from Kiss Me Deadly and The Long Goodbye to Chinatown and Mulholland Drive.”
Check out the poster to the right and the trailer below; then let us know what you think!
Under the Silver Lake is written and directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) and stars Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man) and Riley Keough (Mad Max: Fury Road).
The film hits theaters this June via A24.
Synopsis:
Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenchanted 33-year-old who discovers a mysterious woman, Sarah (Riley Keough), frolicking in his apartment’s swimming pool.
