Netflix presents the suspenseful trailer of the reverting psychological drama, Gerald’s Game, starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood. Based on the terrifying bestseller by critically acclaimed Stephen King, get ready for a twisted game of seduction between husband and wife.
Based on the novel by Stephen King, Jessie (Gugino) and Gerald (Greenwood) are trying to spice up their humdrum marriage. Away in their remote lake house, Jessie must fight for survival when her husband dies unexpectedly. At the time of his death, Gerald left his wife handcuffed to their bed frame.
Check out our 5 thoughts on the official trailer for Gerald’s Game:
5) It’s A Resurgence!
The best-selling has always been popular but it seems lately his books have been jumping onto the big screen one after the other. First there was The Dark Tower, then It, and Gerald’s Game will make its big screen debut at Fantastic Fest.
4) It’s 50 Shades of Horrifying!
It’s 50 Shades Darker indeed! Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) relived his kinky fantasies with his true love, Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson). But I never read in the books that Christian had a heart attack while Anastasia was handcuffed to her bed!
3) Only One Wardrobe!
I don’t know how many days Jessie is supposed to be stuck to her bed, but it looks like Gugino will be wearing just that one outfit. Knowing he’s going to be shirtless most of the time, and lying on the floor, Greenwood looks like he got in shape for the movie.
2) Where’s The Space Cowboy?
If you’ve read the book, then you know Jessie will have to face-off against The Space Cowboy. Is he a figment of her imagination? Or was she really visited by the notorious serial killer? The trailer highlights its main protagonist, which resembles a one-person play.
1) Hush
Writer/director Mike Flanagan is also responsible for the home invasion thriller, Hush. The Netflix original has a fantastic performance by co-writer/actress Kate Siegel. John Gallagher Jr. (10 Cloverfield Lane) is quite creepy as well as Man. I’m really hoping Gerald’s Game will be just as good as Hush!
Gerald’s Game premieres on Netflix on September 29th, 2017.
