The spooky monster at the center of Blumhouse’s upcoming horror movie The Woman in the Yard is exactly what it sounds like: a woman sitting in a yard, draped in an all-black get-up reminiscent of mourning clothes (or Dune‘s Bene Gesserit). While that may not sound super menacing, The Woman in the Yard‘s trailer proves otherwise.
In the trailer, the woman in the yard terrorizes a mother (Danielle Deadwyler of Station Eleven and Till) and her children. She pops up unexpectedly and delivers a chilling message, telling them, “Today’s the day.” As if that weren’t scary enough, her hands are bloody, suggesting bad things ahead.
The Woman in the Yard is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Black Adam, Jungle Cruise) and produced by Jason Blum (M3GAN, Five Nights At Freddy’s).
The Woman in the Yard hits theaters on March 28.
