I’ve been to a few nightmare weddings in my day, but nothing quite like this. On Friday, Netflix unveiled a new and disturbing trailer for Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, a new horror series from Haley Z. Boston and the Duffer Brothers, of Stranger Things fame, of course. The new psychological horror series premieres on March 26, with all eight episodes dropping on the same day.
What Happens in the New Trailer?
In the new trailer for Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, Rachel (Camila Morrone) and Nicky (Adam DiMarco) want to get married. However, instead of making it a big to-do, Nicky has the not-so-brilliant idea of hosting the celebration at his parents’ vacation cabin in the woods. It’s at the cabin where Rachel meets Nicky’s family, and things quickly take a turn for the invasive and terrifying. How do I put this? There’s something wrong with Nicky’s family. They’re creepy, have no concept of privacy, and if I didn’t know any better, I’d say there’s some strange occult s**t going on. Unfortunately for Rachel, she won’t have too much time to figure things out, because to survive the ordeal, she’ll need to reconsider her vows and get the hell out of dodge before she’s celebrating her future as a corpse bride.
Boston on Her Approach to Horror
Tudum recently spoke with Haley Z. Boston, the creator of the new series, about her unnerving approach to horror.
“I love horror. It’s natural to me, [it’s how] I process my own emotions and feelings and my own understanding of the world,” Boston told Tudum. “I think horror allows you to explore taboo feelings and take all of these fears and give them some bite.”
The show isn’t about jump scares. Instead, as Boston puts it, the tone is “unsettling, getting-under-your-skin dread,” mixed with character-driven storytelling. “I love to explore characters. I think sometimes that’s lacking in the horror genre,” she says. “My natural approach is from a place of character and dialogue and humor and then infusing that with unsettling horror … I’m like, ‘I want to be unsettled. I want to be freaked out.'”
Who stars in Something Very Bad is Going to Happen?
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen stars Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones & The Six, The Night Manager) as Rachel, Adam DiMarco (The White Lotus, Overcompensating) as Nicky, Jennifer Jason Leigh (Fargo, Annihilation) as Victoria, Ted Levine (Monk, Big Sky) as Boris, Gus Birney (Shining Vale) as Portia, Jeff Wilbusch (Unorthodox, Oslo) as Jules, Karla Crome (The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde, Lazarus) as Nell, Sawyer Fraser (The Good Doctor) as Jude, and Zlatko Burić (Triangle of Sadness).
What do you think about the new trailer for Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen? I plan to check this out as soon as it drops on Netflix on March 26 and hope it’s as creepy as it looks. The last time I enjoyed something wedding-related, it was 2019’s Ready or Not, so I’m due for some frightening events revolving around young love and nutulas gone wrong. Let’s go!
