A new trailer for Woman of the Hour has arrived – and it’s deeply unsettling.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, Cheryl Bradshaw (Anna Kendrick) goes on an uncomfortable date with with serial killer Rodney Acala (played by Daniel Zovatto).
The film, helmed by Kendrick in her directorial debut, is based on the true story of Cheryl Bradshaw – a woman who competed on the game show The Dating Game and unknowingly won a date with Alcala. Rather than angle on the killer (as many true crime movies and shows do), the movie revolves around Cheryl and the events of the game show.
The cast includes Nicolette Robinson, Tony Hale, Kathryn Gallagher, Kelley Jakle, Autumn Best, Jessie Fraser, Taylor Hastings, Jedidiah Goodacre, and Darcy Laurie.
