“I knew something freaky was going to happen tonight,” Kate Hudson says in the new trailer for “Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon.” “With a full moon, I feel it in my ovaries, I swear to god.” The film is the latest hallucinogenic nightmare from Ana Lily Amirpour, known for the celebrated indies “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” and “The Bad Batch.”
Starring Kate Hudson, Jun Jong Seo, Ed Skrein, Evan Whitten, and Craig Robinson, ‘Blood Moon’ has been described as a “mind-bending adventure set in the humid, neon-lit streets of New Orleans. Inspired by adventure films of the 1980s and ’90s, the film follows a young girl with special abilities. After escaping from an asylum, she enters back into the chaotic reality around her, making unexpected allies along the way.”
The film made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival last year and is now finally coming out in the fall.
Here’s the official synopsis
Kate Hudson and Jun Jong Seo star in this mind-bending thriller from visionary director Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night). When a struggling single mother (Hudson) befriends a mysterious mental institute escapee with supernatural powers (Jong Seo), she sees a lucrative opportunity to make some fast cash. But when they draw the attention of a detective (Craig Robinson), their luck starts to run out as the cops close in on their crime spree.
If the film looks rather spectacular when the movie’s cinematographer is Pawel Pogorzelski, who collaborated with Amirpour during the apex of the pandemic on her short film “Ride It Out,” which was featured in the Netflix anthology film “Homemade.” Pogorzelski also worked on the Ari Aster-directed horror films “Hereditary” and “Midsommar.”
“Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon” will be released in theaters, on digital, and on-demand September 30 via Saban Films and Paramount. Watch the new trailer below.
