June, once a celebrated counterculture figure, attempts to retreat from the chaos by shutting herself inside the yellowed walls of her grandmother’s South Bronx apartment.
A citywide blackout is triggering fires, looting, and countless arrests, and the Son of Sam murders are riddling the city with panic. It’s July 1977, and New York City is awash with escalating violence. Here’s the official synopsis from Sundance: READ MORE: The 25 Best Films Of 2019 We’ve Already Seen But it appears to be more of a one-woman Hitchcockian thriller in a single-setting: inside a dank, musty apartment. Written and directed by Alistair Banks Griffin, on top of Naomi Watts, “Wolf Hour” stars Emory Cohen, Jennifer Ehle, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Jeremy Bobb, and Brennan Brown.

TRAILER TO SHUT IN SERIAL
That backdrop, a hot and sweltering summer in New York during a blackout with a serial killer on the loose (David Berkowitz), is the setting for “The Wolf Hour” and a psychological thriller and drama where a woman (Watts) is having something of a mental breakdown during this duress and anxiety that panicked an entire city. ‘The Wolf Hour’: Naomi Watts Gives A Striking Raw Nerve Performance distribution, Watts plays an agoraphobic shut-in in 1970s New York during the summer of Son of Sam that terrorized the five boroughs in 1977. In “ The Wolf Hour,” which still doesn’t seem to have U.S. But she’s also been in one more 2019 Sundance film that has gone a little bit more under the radar. The actress has been in the hit Sundance film “ Luce,” and she was cast as the lead in one of HBO’s “ Game Of Thrones” spin-offs, although you won’t see that one until 2020 at the earliest. But he’s scared, has rings under his eyes and looks creepy.Most years are kind to Naomi Watts, and 2019 is no real exception.
Tremblay told the publication of his character: Tom’s a dark character. Or is he? “All is not what it seems,” director Farren Blackburn told USA Today (who first shared the trailer). In the film, Naomi Watts - who’s proven, across Mulholland Drive, The Ring(s), and Funny Games that she’s very good at playing terror with nuance - plays a child psychologist who’s currently taking care of her catatonic stepson (who was paralyzed in a car crash in which her husband also died.) As if all that didn’t sound depressing enough, she decides takes in a foster child - played by Tremblay - who runs away in freezing conditions, and is thereafter assumed dead, and seemingly begins haunting her. (It also stars Stranger Things’ Charlie Heaton, aka Jonathan Byers.) The new Naomi Watts and Jacob Tremblay-starring film, Shut In - whose trailer was just shared, and can be viewed below - looks like a generic addition to an extensive list but I for one am not above seeing a film that mines the anxieties of parenthood with cheap horror tricks, and this film’s cast is pretty great. There are plenty of fantastic movies about maternal horror - from The Babadook to Rosemary’s Baby to Carrie to the less genre-y but just as horrific We Need to Talk About Kevin and Mommy Dearest - in which mothers (or, in the case of Rosemary’s Baby, mothers and fetuses) and children terrify each other and question notions of indelible parental bonds.
