Trailer: Naomi Watts in the Summer of Sam thriller The Wolf Hour

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Writer/director Alistair Banks Griffin's psychological thriller THE WOLF HOUR is a film I have been looking forward to seeing ever since it was first announced two years ago. So it's good to see a trailer and finally get a proper preview of this story.

Naomi Watts stars in THE WOLF HOUR as June, who 

was once a known counter-culture figure, but that was a decade ago. She now lives alone in her South Bronx apartment, having all but cut herself off from the outside world. It's the notorious "Summer of Sam" and June only has to look out of her window to see the violence escalating with the brutal summer heat. The city is on a knife's edge, a pressure-cooker about to explode into the incendiary 1977 New York blackout riots. As she retreats further into isolation, an unseen tormentor begins exploiting her weaknesses and her carefully guarded universe begins to unravel.

Jennifer Ehle, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Emory Cohen, Jeremy Bobb, and Brennan Brown are also in the cast.

I have always loved the idea of the film centering on a troubled shut-in during the Summer of Sam, and the trailer makes it look like THE WOLF HOUR could live up to its potential.

Brainstorm Media is planning a December 6th release for THE WOLF HOUR. The trailer is embedded above, check it out and see what you think.
