Noomi Rapace is a shape-shifting witch in the new trailer for YouWontBeAlone, a folkloric horror movie coming to theaters in April.
Folk horror has undergone a revival in recent years and now the You Won't Be Alone trailer has been released in the hopes of joining the pantheon that includes Midsommar and The Witch. Marking Australian director Goran Stolevski's feature directorial debut, the film is set in a Macedonian mountain village and follows the story of Nevena, a young witch who is exiled from her community to the woods.
Focus Features released the You Won't Be Alone's second trailer on YouTube, building on the suspense laid by You Won't Be Alone's first trailer, released two months previously. The video combines beautiful, idyllic shots of pastoral Macedonia with screams, cries, and shots of nails wounding skin as Nevena comes to terms with her power and, in disguise, attempts to reintegrate into the community that cast her out.
