Shudder has just released the new trailer for their original film Glorious ahead of the film’s debut on the platform on Thursday, August 18. The latest feature film comes director, podcaster, and academic Rebekah McKendry (All The Creatures Were Stirring). The film comes to Shudder hot off of its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival.
Spiraling out after a bad breakup, Wes (Ryan Kwanten) ends up at a remote rest stop miles away from civilization. His situation worsens after he finds himself locked inside the bathroom with a mysterious figure (J.K. Simmons) speaking to him from an adjacent stall. As Wes tries to escape, he finds himself an unwilling player in a situation bigger and more terrible than he could possibly imagine.
With the majority of the film taking place in a rest-stop bathroom, Glorious is an intimate indie horror full of twists and turns.
Watch the new trailer below:
“Glorious speaks to my adoration of Lovecraft, gore, absurdist humor, philosophy, and the type of transgressive movies that leave you thinking I can’t believe I just saw that,” says McKendry. “It is a wild mix of horror, humor, and heady moralistic concepts about our own existential realizations of who we really are, forcing each of us to stare into our personal abyss. And sometimes, the abyss stares back… and maybe has a favor to ask.”
Todd Rigney, Joshua Hull, and David Ian McKendry wrote the script for Glorious.
