There’s nothing wrong with giving your expectant audience a taste of what’s to come. Sadly, as with their other forthcoming film Nerve, the trailer for Catfish directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s outbreak horror Viral gives far, far too much away.
The new trailer is below and there’s a fine retro style poster for the film, which throws to teenaged sisters into a world-endangering flu outbreak. It’s finally the worm-flu film we’ve been waiting for. It looks pretty solid, with some 28 Days Later rage thrown into the mix. It’s just a shame that the trailer appears to give so much of it away.
Before you succumb, take a bite out of this synopsis,
Teenaged sisters Emma (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and Stacey (Analeigh Tipton) live a normal life, until their small suburban neighborhood is stricken with a mysterious parasitic virus. As the disease rapidly spreads throughout the town, the two band together to barricade themselves from infection. But it may already be too late – when the virus enters their home, the sisters are faced with an impossible choice: protect each other, or survive the virus.
