Director Eddie Alcazar’s sci-fi horror film, Divinity, has released its first red band trailer. Executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, this visually stunning movie stands out from contemporary cinema. Having premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, the film received high praise from critics and continued its success with an international premiere at the Taormina Film Festival in June.
The trailer, created using a fascinating combination of stop motion and live-action, creates an eerie atmosphere for viewers. It introduces Jaxxon Pierce, a man who possesses an immortality serum called Divinity, and depicts his encounter with two mysterious brothers who abduct him. His only hope lies with a seductive woman of enigmatic origins. The film captivates with its black and white tones, dystopian vibe, and nostalgic impact reminiscent of classic 80s horror movies. The visuals are as impressive as the thrilling plot, featuring close-up shots of body horror and scientific experiments. Divinity is a bold commitment to the science fiction horror genre that is not for the faint-hearted.
