The feature directorial debut from Jeffrey A. Brown, The Beach House is a striking and timely eco-horror that offers up an alluring mix of claustrophobic isolation, mysterious contagion, and dreamy seaside setting in which A romantic getaway turns into a struggle for survival when unexpected guests – and eventually the environment – exhibit signs of a mysterious infection.
Featuring a show-stealing lead performance from Liana Liberato, the film also stars Noah Le Gros (A Score To Settle), Jake Weber (Dawn of the Dead [2004], Meet Joe Black) and Maryann Nagel.
Escaping to his family’s beach house to reconnect, Emily and Randall find their off-season trip interrupted by Mitch and Jane Turner, an older couple acquainted with Randall’s estranged father. Unexpected bonds form as the couples let loose and enjoy the isolation, but it all takes an ominous turn as increasingly strange environmental phenomena begin to warp their peaceful evening. As the effects of an infection become evident, Emily struggles to make sense of the contagion before it’s too late.
The trailer and poster for The Beach House have arrived ahead of its July 9th release on AMC’s Shudder.
