Director Jim Mickle's "genre-bending psychological thriller" IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON has had my attention ever since the project was first announced, but I'm still blown away by the trailer that has been released for it. This movie isn't what I was expecting, as it plays out on a larger scale and has bigger action moments than I thought it would… Which makes me even more interested in seeing it.
Written by Gregory Weidman and Geoff Tock, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is said to examine "the power of time, and how its passing can either bring us together or tear us apart." The film has the following synopsis:
In 1988, Philadelphia police officer Thomas Lockhart (Boyd Holbrook), hungry to become a detective, begins tracking a serial killer who mysteriously resurfaces every nine years. But when the killer's crimes begin to defy all scientific explanation, Locke's obsession with finding the truth threatens to destroy his career, his family, and possibly his sanity.
Holbrook is joined in the cast by Michael C. Hall, Cleopatra Coleman, and Bokeem Woodbine.
IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON was produced by Mickle, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Rian Cahill, Ben Pugh, and Linda Moran, with Fred Berger and Rory Aitken executive producing.
The film will be available to watch through the Netflix streaming service as of September 27th. The trailer can be seen right here:
