A mysterious new thriller will address the horror of history [1]. Though little can be gleaned from the just-released teaser, Antebellum seems to follow a successful present-day author who finds herself haunted by — and potentially trapped in — an antebellum era narrative. The film features a stacked cast consisting of Janelle Monáe, Marque Richardson, Gabourey Sidibe [2], Jena Malone, and more.

Antebellum will mark the feature debut for creative duo Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, who previously made names for themselves in activism and advertising. Get Out [3], Us, and BlacKkKlansman producer Sean McKittrick is also attached to the film, which is a good sign. Watch the mind-bending teaser above before Antebellum hits theatres on April 24, 2020.
