IFC Midnight has released a new trailer for the upcoming thriller Evolution, written and directed by Lucile Hadzihalilovic (Innocence, writer of Enter the Void). The film revolves around a boy living on a mysterious island inhabited by only other boys his age and adult women who finds a dead child in the ocean that sparks a series of nightmarish events.
Evolution opens in theaters and on VOD platforms November 25th.
This eerily seductive mind-bender is a dark, dreamlike descent into the depths of the unknown. Ten-year-old Nicolas (Max Brebant) lives in a remote seaside village populated only by boys his age and adult women. But when he makes a disturbing discovery beneath the ocean waves—a dead boy with a red starfish on his stomach—Nicolas begins to question everything about his existence. What are the half-remembered images he recalls, as if from another life? If the woman he lives with is not his mother, then who is she? And what awaits the boys when they are all suddenly confined to a hospital? The long-awaited new film from the acclaimed director of Innocence is awash in the haunting, otherworldly images of a nightmare.
