Something sinister is lurking just beyond the front door in Blumhouse’s latest thriller, The Woman in the Yard. The new trailer has arrived, and let’s just say, if you weren’t already locking your doors in broad daylight, you might want to start.
Danielle Deadwyler (Till, The Harder They Fall) leads this psychological horror as Ramona, a woman still recovering—physically and emotionally—from the tragic accident that claimed her husband’s life. Now raising their two children alone in an isolated farmhouse, she’s doing her best to hold it together. But when her young son walks in one day and casually announces, “There’s a woman in the yard,” everything takes a turn for the unnerving.
And he’s not wrong.
A shadowy figure—draped head to toe in black—sits eerily still in an iron-wrought chair on their property. When Ramona steps outside, trying to make sense of what she’s seeing, she calls out, “Hello, can I help you? My husband will be home soon.”
That’s when the woman, played by Okwui Okpokwasili (The Exorcist: Believer), lifts her covered face and delivers a gut-punch of a response: “We both know your husband is not coming home.”
And just like that, the unease ramps up to full-fledged terror.
As tension mounts, the son takes matters into his own hands, pointing a gun at the intruder, demanding she leave. But nothing about this woman suggests she’s bound by the rules of reality, and soon, the family finds themselves fighting to survive a force that won’t be ignored.
The trailer teases a slow-burning nightmare as Ramona and her children grapple with the woman’s cryptic warnings, her chilling presence, and—most disturbingly—the realization that she may have been called there. There are flashes of bloodied hands and a looming threat that seems tethered to something more than just the physical world.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Black Adam, Jungle Cruise) and penned by first-time feature writer Sam Stefanak, The Woman in the Yard is shaping up to be a nerve-shredding descent into grief, fear, and the supernatural.
Also starring Russell Hornsby (BMF, Fences), Peyton Jackson (Respect, American Refugee), and Estella Kahiha (Will Trent, BMF), the film hits theaters on March 28.
