Written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, Antebellum follows Veronica Henley, played by Janelle Moná. She is a successful author and finds herself trapped in a horrifying existence. The short trailer shows her going from the civil war era to modern time. And it’s creepy.   There is a place that is the Antebellum era from history as a thriller, and the fourth trailer seems to indicate it is in the movie, too.

Her necessity to uncover the mind-bending mystery before it’s too late is the force of the movie. The 911 call is coming from her or someone else? The image of the butterfly on the poster is intriguing.

Lionsgate calls the movie a terrifying new thriller, and Bush and Renz are reasonably new filmmakers. The rest of the cast includes Marque Richardson II, Eric Lange, Jack Huston, Kiersey Clemons, Tongayi Chirisa, Gabourey Sidibe, Rob Aramayo, Lily Cowles, and Jena Malone.
