It might not have received an R rating, but Warner Bros. is bringing the goods with their mysterious thriller The End of Oak Street, which plunges suburbia into Earth’s prehistoric past.
We can report today that the film is rated PG-13 for “some strong violent content, bloody images, some strong language and suggestive material.”
The End of Oak Street came out of nowhere with a teaser trailer that left us with more questions than answers, which is exactly what sci-fi horror auteur J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot Productions are known for.
Looking like some strange hybrid of Jurassic Park, Cloverfield, and The Twilight Zone, with a hint of Spielberg, we learned that the film begins after a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street out of suburbia and transports its neighborhood to an unknown place. The Platt family – Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, and Christian Convery – soon discover that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.
Not only does it boast a killer cast, but it was directed by It Follows filmmaker David Robert Mitchell.
Find out what’s in the “mystery box” in theaters and IMAX on August 14.
