Hulu has dropped a trailer for Appendage, their upcoming psychological body horror film starring Hadley Robinson and Emily Hampshire. Robinson stars as Hannah, a young fashion student who finds herself dealing with mounting pressure. Filled with self-doubt and negative thoughts, things begin to quickly and terrifyingly unravel for Hannah. Her inner demons begin to manifest into an unexplainable growth inside of her body, and things just escalate: what begins as an internal growth shifts into a demon-like creature tormenting the film’s star by the end of the trailer. Check out the trailer for Appendage below.
According to the film’s synopsis, Hannah’s growth, aka The Appendage, takes advantage of her declining health to “fuel her anxieties – her perceived lack of talent at work, her deteriorating relationships with her boyfriend and best friend, and her parents’ lack of love and understanding. At her breaking point, Hannah makes a shocking discovery—there are others out there like her.”
Appendage stars Hadley Robinson (Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty), Emoly Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), Kausar Mohammed (Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous), and Brandon Mychal Smith (Phil of the Future). The film marks Anna Zlokovic’s feature directorial debut and is based on her 2021 short of the same name.
Appendage was developed by 20th Digital Studio with David Worthen Brooks, Arbi Pedrossian, and Jenna Cavelle serving as executive producers. Robinson, Zlokovic and Alex Familian produce, with Emma Buerklin serving as co-producer.
The film arrives on Hulu on October 2. Appendage premiered at this year’s SXSW and opened to mixed reviews.
