Focus Features will release Goran Stolevski's folk horror You Won't Be Alone in theatres on April 1st. The second trailer has arrived, check it out below. It is a gorgeous piece of filmmaking, you can see why You Won't Be Alone was quickly snatched up after it had it's world premiere at Sundance back in January.
Our own Mel caught You Won't Be Alone at Sundance. You will find his full review here but here are the opening statements. I'm by no means an authority on the films of the Terrence Malick but the mere mention of him in Mel's review has only added to my interest in seeing this film.
If you need any more evidence that the horror genre not only contains multitudes, but also remains incredibly malleable, look no further than writer-director Goran Stolevski’s stunningly realized feature-length debut, You Won’t Be Alone.A supernaturally-themed horror film with a distinctly Malickian flavor, You Won’t Be Alone filters a surprisingly touching, poignant exploration of the shifting nature of identity, gender (and fluidity thereof), and humanity itself through the singularly conceived and thrillingly executed point-of-view of a rebelliously inquisitive witch, the proverbial outsider, pariah, and exile from the patriarchal social order, across several decades in pre-industrial Macedonia.
You Won't Be Alone was Stolevski's feature film debut. It stars Noomi Rapace, Anamaria Marinca, Alice Englert, Carloto Cotta, Félix Maritaud, and Sara Klimoska.
