Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for "Gentle Monster," starring Léa Seydoux. The film, written and directed by Marie Kreutzer, premiered at Cannes and will hit theaters this fall.
The trailer opens with home-video-style clips of a happy, loving family. The mood shifts when a mother tells her daughter that she feels something is wrong. In a later scene, a shirtless man—the father or son-in-law—answers the door and is confronted by an unseen visitor. The trailer suggests that the family's serene life is torn apart by shocking crimes linked to the man's dark secrets.
Further plot details were not revealed in the teaser. "Gentle Monster" is Kreutzer's latest feature, following her acclaimed work on "Corsage." The film is set to debut in theaters before arriving on Netflix, though an exact release date was not announced.
