Elisabeth Moss (The Invisible Man) finds herself embarking on a scary new beauty treatment in Shell, the upcoming body horror dark comedy from director Max Minghella.
We can exclusively unveil the new poster that teases some of the madness ahead of the film’s world premiere at TIFF. If the poster below is any indication, someone or something is harboring a monstrous beauty secret.
Kate Hudson and Kaia Gerber star alongside Moss in Minghella’s sophomore effort.
In the film, “Down on her luck actress Samantha Lake (Moss) is invited into the ultra glamorous world of Zoe Shannon (Hudson), CEO of health & wellness company Shell. When their patients start to go missing, including starlet Chloe Benson (Gerber), Samantha realizes Shell may be protecting a monstrous secret.”
The body horror dark comedy was penned by Jack Stanley, the scribe behind last year’s riveting thriller The Passenger.
Minghella made his feature directorial debut with 2018’s Teen Spirit, but horror fans will recognize the actor/filmmaker for his roles in Spiral: From the Book of Saw and Alexandre Aja’s Horns.
The director previously said in a statement, “Minghella said in a statement, “Shell packs a wildly entertaining genre movie with iconic characters and universal themes that are bound to have people talking long after they leave the theater. I’m so thrilled to be bringing it to life with this extraordinary cast and the incredible support of Black Bear International, Love & Squalor and Automatik.”
Moss added, “This is one of the most unique, entertaining and special scripts I’ve ever read and I am so honored to be a part of it as an actor and flattered that Max came to me with this character, who’s unlike anyone I’ve ever played before. Having worked with Max for years on , I’m so thrilled to now be directed by him as I’m a huge fan of his as a filmmaker. We at Love & Squalor are also excited to be working alongside Automatik and Black Bear, two companies we very much admire.”
