So it's a real-life Boggart movie from Harry Potter (worst fears come to life)? Haha.
Looks solid.

The book was great, so I hope this will do it justice. Sandra Bullock is a very good actress, and I like John Malkovich so here's hoping.
I'm not sold on this by the trailer, though. Like the poster above me said, it doesn't exactly make me feel like the book did. They've obviously changed some things and I'm not sure about what I've seen. The last parts of the trailer had me optimistic, though.
Here's hoping it will be good.

I didn't realize that they were making anything based on this, but it's deserving for sure. The book was recommended to me by an era user, and was well worth reading last spring.
Whoa. Don't know source but that cast is pretty great. Netflix really drawing big actors lately.
I almost named my dog Malkovich.
I don't think Paulson has ever chosen a bad role.

Do yourself a favour and buy or borrow, and read the book before it comes out.
She is Danish. Unless this is a joke lol.
Finally we have a trailer, been looking forward to Bier's next project.
Read the book earlier this year and enjoyed it greatly. I wouldn't have imagined casting Sandra Bullock as Mallorie, but she's a great lead to where I'm interested in seeing her portrayal.
Let's get The Fisherman next for Lovecraft-inspired/Cosmic horror adaptations.

People lauding the book will never cease to baffle me. It had a good premise, but zero payoff. Not all mysteries need to be explained, but the mystery was all it had going for it. I couldn't recommend it to anybody.
If this fixes the book's problems, though, it could be pretty sweet.

I lived below the dude who wrote this book for a couple years. Cool guy, glad he found success.
Will definitely check this out.

I haven't read the book but I'm guessing that
whatever is causing all of this is never revealed?
Correct overall, though IMO it's made clear about half way through to be the case.
They narrow it down in a "animal, vegetable, or mineral?" kind of way, but the how/where/why is left forever hanging.
What you see in the trailer is about all you get in the book, though in the book they are fairly explicitly not "your worst fear" as one victim describes then as beautiful. 'Course they'd been driven mad at the time, so who knows.

Yeah he's in the band that did the theme for Shameless (a TV show I've never watched.) Their name escapes me at the moment.
EDIT: The High Strung.
Oh, neat. I didn't know they did that song. I just read about him being a musician.
I watched the first season of Shameless years ago, and it was really good.
It's actually not horrible I read the book and the movie is pretty faithful they sped up the start of the apocalypse but most of it's pretty faithful what they did for a monster you can't show was pretty cool.
Watched it last night, I really liked it! There are plenty of differences from the book but I still enjoyed it.
Watched it last night and thought it was pretty decent. Not the greatest movie but worth the two hour investment.
