Stars: Lachlan Watson, Michele Hicks, Bill Sage, Brendan Meyer, Boyana Balta, Nick Sandow, Shunori Ramanathan | Written by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen | Directed by Jeffrey A. Brown

Not a companion piece to Unseen, The Unheard is a new Shudder Original that combine the talents of Jeffrey A. Brown, who previously directed The Beach House and writers Michael and Shawn Rasmussen whose credits include Crawl and The Ward. It’s the story of Chloe who caught meningitis and spent six months in a coma as a child. She awoke to find that she had lost her hearing.

More importantly, she had lost her mother as well. She disappeared without a trace during those months. She and her father moved to Maine and she’s tried to put it behind her and get on with her life.

Now a young woman she’s returned to Massachusetts and her family’s Wellfleet summer house...

Watching the cosmic, otherworldly dread unfold in Jeffrey A. Brown's The Beach House was one of my favorite viewing experiences of 2020, so I was thrilled to find out that Brown is back with his next feature-length film, The Unheard.

With the supernatural sci-fi horror film now streaming on Shudder, I caught up with Jeffrey in a new video interview to discuss working with the talented Lachlan Watson, his personal connection to the film's story of hearing loss, and how he brought the film's creepy VHS aesthetic to life on screen. As an added bonus for fans of The Beach House, Jeffrey also talks about what his pitch for The Beach House 2 would have looked like!

"I think something's wrong with the procedure. I'm hearing things..." Shudder has revealed a trailer for an indie horror film titled The Unheard, the latest creation from the director of The Beach House. It will be streaming on Shudder later this month. Lachlan Watson stars as Chloe, who undergoes an experimental procedure to restore her hearing. She begins to suffer from auditory hallucinations related to the mysterious disappearance of her mother. The director adds: "Our cast and crew have delivered a stunning piece of work and I cannot wait for audiences to take our trip into the strange realms between life & death and silence & noise!" From the writers of the Crawl film. The cast includes Michele Hicks, Nick Sandow, Brendan Meyer, Shunori Ramanathan, and Boyana Balta. This looks unsettling, especially with all the sounds. // Continue Reading ›...

The post Watch the Trailer for The Unheard,...

A few weeks ago, we learned that Lachlan Watson, who was recently seen playing Glen and Glenda on season 2 of the Chucky TV series, had teamed up with Jeffrey A. Brown, who made his feature directorial debut with a solid horror film called The Beach House (read our review Here), for a new horror movie called The Unheard. The Unheard will be available to watch through the Shudder streaming service in the U.S., Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand as of March 31st – and with that date creeping up on us, a trailer for the movie has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Scripted by Crawl writers Michael Rasmussen and Shawn Rasmussen, The Unheard follows 20-year-old Chloe Grayden, who after undergoing an experimental procedure to restore her damaged hearing, begins to suffer from auditory hallucinations seemingly related to the mysterious disappearance of her mother.

Brothers and screenwriting partners Michael Rasmussen and Shawn Rasmussen provided some fun, creature-based thrillers back in 2019 with Crawl and now they are back with their next script, The Unheard. Directed by Jeffrey A. Brown, who last made a splash early in the pandemic with The Beach House, the first trailer has arrived ahead of a Shudder release at the end of the month.

Starring Lachlan Watson, Michele Hicks, Shunori Ramanathan, Brendan Meyer, Nick Sandow, Boyana Balta, Beckett Guest, and Michelle Violette, here’s the synopsis: “After undergoing an experimental procedure to restore her damaged hearing, 20-year-old Chloe Grayden begins to suffer from auditory hallucinations seemingly related to the mysterious disappearance of her mother.”

Check out the trailer and poster below.

The Unheard arrives on Shudder on March 31.

The post The Unheard Trailer: The Writers of Crawl & Director of The Beach House Team for New Horror Feature first appeared on The Film Stage.

Back in April, Sony Pictures offered a first look at their thriller When the Bough Breaks at CinemaCon with the first trailer. We haven't heard anything about the movie since then, but with the September 16 release date getting closer and closer, the studio has rolled out a second trailer with even more new footage. This could be one of the most chilling thrillers of the year, and it may have couples seeking surrogates reconsidering adoption or other methods of bringing a baby into their lives.

This new trailer, which debuted on Sony Screen Gems' Youtube channel, focuses on John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall), a young, professional couple who desperately want a baby. After exhausting all other options, they finally hire Anna (Jaz Sinclair), the perfect woman to be their surrogate - but as she gets further along in her pregnancy, so too does her psychotic...

Hollywood loves regular patterns, and one it has subscribed to recently is releasing a cost-effective psychological thriller aimed at an African-American audience during the second or third week of September.

The results have proven profitable so far such as with 2014's "No Good Deed" and 2015's "The Perfect Guy". Today, Screen Gems has unveiled the first trailer for this year's film in that slot - "When the Bough Breaks"

Playing like a variation of "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall star as a young, professional couple who hire a surrogate. As said woman gets further along in her pregnancy, her dangerous fixation on the husband increases.

Theo Rossi, Christina Bach, GiGi Erneta, Michelle DeVito, Boyana Balta, Justin Lebrun and Jeff Caperton also star in the film which Jon Cassar directs. It opens September 16th.

Last night, during Sony Pictures' CinemaCon presentation, the studio unveiled the first footage from their upcoming Screen Gems thriller When the Bough Breaks, arriving in theaters September 16. If you weren't in Las Vegas last night, then you're in luck, because Screen Gems has debuted the first trailer for all to see. This thriller will most likely have eager parents thinking twice about the use of a surrogate to bring them a child.

John and Laura Taylor (Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall) are a young, professional couple who desperately want a baby. After exhausting all other options, they finally hire Anna (Jaz Sinclair), the perfect woman to be their surrogate - but as she gets further along in her pregnancy, so too does her psychotic and dangerous fixation on the husband. The couple becomes caught up in Anna's deadly game and must fight to regain control of their future before it's too late.
