The trailer is here and Brandy does not disappoint. Last week Brandy teased the drop of her new movie “The Front Room” and as promised the trailer dropped today.
Baby watch this:
Accoridng to PEOPLE the 45-year-old singer-songwriter and actress is making her return to the horror genre for the first time since her role in 1998’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
This time, she stars in A24’s “The Front Room,” alongside Kathryn Hunter (from “Poor Things”) and Andrew Burnap. The trailer reveals that Brandy’s character, Belinda, faces increasing challenges when her father-in-law passes away, and her husband (played by Burnap) discovers that his mother (Hunter, 67) must move in with them as they prepare for their baby’s arrival.
Once Solange, the mother-in-law, moves in, tensions rise as she and Belinda clash.
Solange takes over the room that Belinda had planned for the baby and criticizes the couple’s choice to name their daughter Fern.
As Belinda learns more about Solange’s attachment to her religion, her husband reveals Solange believes the Holy Ghost possesses her and grants her powers — and that she is a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, an association of people descended from soldiers who fought for the Confederacy in the United States’ Civil War.
With the baby’s birth approaching, Belinda grows to believe Solange is genuinely evil; the trailer ends with her struggling to get Solange to pronounce her name correctly.
“Everything goes to hell for newly-pregnant Belinda after her mother-in-law moves in,” reads an official synopsis for the new movie. “
As the diabolical guest tries to get her claws on the child, Belinda must draw the line somewhere…”
The Front Room is written and directed by filmmaking duo Max Eggers and Sam Eggers, who previously collaborated with their brother Robert Eggers on Robert’s films like The Lighthouse and The Witch.
Brandy last appeared on the big screen in 2023’s holiday-themed rom-com Best. Christmas. Ever! and is next expected to appear on screen in the Disney+ movie Descendants: The Rise of Red in addition to the new horror film.
In addition to Brandy, Hunter and Burnap, The Front Room also costars Neal Huff.
The Front Room releases in theaters Sept. 6.
