The Sick Trailer Makes the Early Pandemic Even Scarier

Feel like reliving these oh-so-memorable days of spring 2020, once we all thought the world was probably about to finish, The Stand-style? No? Then possibly you ought to present Sick a miss, a brand new movie from the horror manufacturing facility Blumhouse, though it may be a disgrace—this primary trailer makes it appear to be a hell of a horror movie.

Of course, in the event you’re not prepared for such a movie, I don’t begrudge it of you to the tiniest diploma. there’s one thing haunting about watching folks disinfect meals. But then there’s arguably one thing a bit releasing about now not needing to fret about disinfecting meals since you’re being stalked by a serial killer. Hell, simply watch:

Our personal Germain Lussier noticed the movie final September at Fantastic Fest, saying, “At under 90 minutes, Sick wastes no time putting Parker and Miri in wildly tense situations. Hyams isn’t shy about showing the bad guys in the frame, just out of sight of the girls, building anticipation with each and every shot. And once things reach a boiling point, what was mostly a slasher thriller turns into a chase movie, which adds even more possibilities for innovative scares.

“Sick doesn’t reinvent the horror genre like [writer Kevin] Williamson once did with Scream, but it uses some of the best parts of that movie—like the way the killer could toy with the victims and audience—and relocates them to a place and time we can all relate to. Plus, there are a few reveals that give the movie some actual resonance along with the scares and tension. It’s fun and very well done… if you are ready to treat covid-19 with some humor, which maybe not everyone is.”

Sick premieres on Peacock on Friday, January 13.
