‘Nervous’ Teaser Trailer Drops an Eerie Beat Ahead of Tubi FrightFest

Even silence has something to say.

Ahead of its world premiere at Tubi FrightFest 2026 next week, we have a look at the first teaser trailer for writer/director Abner Pastoll‘s Nervous. I’m already hooked.

Here’s the official synopsis: “Sarah (Sarah Bolger) and her husband Sungsoo (Sungsoo Yune) move to a house in the Korean countryside in the hope of saving their crumbling marriage. But their new home hides a strange secret – an unmarked vinyl record that plays nothing but silence. After listening to it, Sarah slowly begins to lose the ability to hear men’s voices, and her grip on reality starts to fracture. She becomes isolated from her husband as she is drawn to their enigmatic neighbour, Eunbyeol (Ko Asung), whose raw, erotic presence unsettles and entices her.

As Sarah’s obsession with the vinyl deepens, paranoia, hallucinations, and dangerous desires spiral out of control. With her mind unravelling, she must confront whether the horrors consuming her are psychological, or something far more sinister.”

This is what a good teaser looks like. It reveals almost nothing. Instead, we’re treated to a hypnotic beat as we see the film’s stars meet eyes in a neon-lit club. With each beat, flashes of bloody hands and other sinister imagery attack the senses. It’s brief, captivating, creepy, and I can’t wait to check it out.

With Nervous, Pastoll reunites with A Good Woman is Hard to Find star Sarah Bolger. The film also stars Ko Asung, known internationally for her roles in Bong Joon Ho’s The Host and Snowpiercer, and Sungsoo Yune (Smugglers, Live Stream). 

Pastoll directed and co-wrote the script with Richard Hobley.

Producers are Junyoung Jang (A Good Woman is Hard to Find, Road Games) and Pastoll.

Nervous also features a new original score from Matthew Pusti (A Good Woman Is Hard to Find, Onslaught).
