New red band trailer for Leigh Whannell’s Upgrade focuses on the violence

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Last month, we shared a red band trailer for writer/director Leigh Whannell's upcoming sci-fi horror movie UPGRADE that featured some great moments of violence. Now another red band preview has arrived online, and the bloody violence contained within the film is its main focus.

Starring Logan Marshall-Green, Rosco Campbell, Richard Cawthorne, and Betty Gabriel, UPGRADE is "a thrilling and hyper violent vision of the future from the producers of GET OUT and THE PURGE, and the creator of SAW and INSIDIOUS."

The synopsis: 

After his wife is killed during a brutal mugging that also leaves him paralyzed, Grey Trace is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experimental cure that will “upgrade” his body. The cure – an Artificial Intelligence implant called STEM – gives Grey physical abilities beyond anything experienced and the ability to relentlessly claim vengeance against those who murdered his wife and left him for dead.

UPGRADE was rated R for "strong violence, grisly images, and language", and examples of the first two reasons are on display in the trailer embedded below. If I weren't already sold on this film, I absolutely would be after watching this trailer, as it looks like it has exactly the sort of blood-soaked action I'm craving to see in the theatre.

UPGRADE is set to be reach theatres on June 1st.
