The second trailer for the innovative smartphone-driven Dutch horror flick App has arrived, and even though there are no English subtitles, you can rest assured that screaming is understandable in any language! Check it out!
This new terror flick will be the first film in the world to synchronize a parallel storyline via app content to be accessed while in the movie theater.
While the sight of glowing smartphone screens is often infuriating and distracting, it will be reappropriated as a necessary component of the App moviegoing experience, as codes and cryptic texts that the film's heroine receives will also appear on audience members' small screens throughout the theater.
Music video director Bobby Boermans is directing the film from a script by Robert A. Jansen. Whether or not Boermans will be the sole "director" of the second-screen application to accompany the film is unclear. The director and Jansen collaborated last year for the thriller Claustrofobia.

★★★★☆ Seldom do films instil such genuine unease in the viewer as Claustrofobia (2011), a new horror thriller from the Netherlands. The debut outing from Dutch director Bobby Boermans is a tale of twisted vengeance which will make you think twice before having a keypad entry system fitted in your house. Eva (Carolien Spoor) can't believe her luck when she moves into a trendy apartment for what seems a bargain monthly rent. Who cares that her new neighbours are a bit odd, or that she's struggling to achieve her goal of becoming an actress - her life has turned a corner, she can feel it. Unfortunately someone very nasty is waiting around that corner with a plan for revenge.
