A trailer has dropped for the upcoming supernatural horror film The Cello which is hitting US screens at the beginning of December.
Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, Saw III, Spiral) is directing the film which boasts an impressive cast that includes Samer Ismail, Muhanad Al Hamdi, Elham Ali, Souad Abdullah, Mila Al Zahrani, Baraa Alem, Ghassan Massoud, Basheer Al Ghonam, Mohammed Altoyan, Tobin Bell and Jeremy Irons.
Turki Alalshikh wrote the screenplay. The film has an official website which is online here.
Like many musicians, accomplished Saudi cellist Nasser (Samer Ismail) has aspirations for greatness, though he feels like he’s held back by the old, dilapidated instrument he’s forced to play. When Nasser is offered the chance to take possession of a gorgeous red cello by a mysterious shop owner (Tobin Bell), he finds new inspiration both for his playing and for his composing. What Nasser doesn’t realize is that this cello has a nefarious past. As he prepares for an important audition with a prominent philharmonic, that past shows itself in the form of an ancient conductor (Jeremy Irons) and the suffering and death of those close to him. Nasser must now decide if achieving his dreams is worth the horror that comes with playing such a perfect instrument.
The film hits US screens on 8th December with (hopefully) a UK release to follow.
Here’s the trailer.
