A weekend break leads to Bad Things in trailer for Shudder psychological thriller

August 1, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

Shudder has released a trailer for the psychological thriller Bad Things ahead of its arrival on the streamer this August.

Written and directed by Stewart Thorndike, the film follows a group of friends as they plan to spend the weekend in an abandoned and supposedly haunted hotel, but things don’t go to plan when the women start to unravel. Watch the trailer below…

When a group of friends escape the city to spend the weekend in an abandoned hotel, a pervading eerie energy begins to illuminate the cracks in their little family unit. Ruthie Nodd (Gayle Rankin) inherits the hotel from her grandmother and with bad childhood memories threatening to burst to the surface, Ruthie wants to sell the hotel and never return. But her partner Cal (Hari Nef) drags her there in the hopes of returning it to its former glory. They are joined by their amiable friend Maddie (Rad Pereira) and mysterious grifter Fran (Annabelle Dexter-Jones), whose unhinged seduction threatens to drive a wedge between the couple. As the friends dance, cook, flirt, and fight up and down the halls of the hotel, they begin to find themselves indelibly entwined in the hotel’s seductive embrace and start doing bad things to each other.

Featuring in the cast of Bad Things are Gayle Rankin, Hari Nef, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Rad Pereira and Molly Ringwald.

Bad Things premieres on Shudder and AMC+ on August 18th.
