Premiering to promising reviews at Fantasia Festival this summer, another trailer has arrived for the virus thriller Retreat. While Contagion, releasing this week, does the concept a much larger scale, Carl Tibbetts‘ directorial debut opts for a smaller setting in this indie production. Starring Cillian Murphy, Thandie Newton and Jamie Bell, the latest trailer from Empire is more or less similar to the first sales trailer, but does present what looks like a decent Hitchcock-esque plot. Check it out below along with a new poster.
Synopsis:
Murphy and Newton play a couple who travel to a remote island cottage, in an effort to focus on putting back the pieces of their broken marriage; their plans are altered by a wounded and armed stranger (Bell), who shows up at their door, carrying news about a deadly airborne virus; the trio, in the interest of survival, seal themselves inside the cottage, and, as you’d expect, like caged animals, tensions rise from the psychological to the physical.
Retreat hits theaters October 21st, 2011.
