Horror movie fanatics have many interesting films to look forward to next year. Among those is Focus Features’ newest film You Won’t Be Alone. The trailer was recently released on December 15th and it’s absolutely terrifying. The story takes place in a small, isolated mountain village in 19th century Macedonia.
A young woman begs for mercy as an ancient spirit snatches her baby girl, flees, then transforms the baby into a witch. As the young witch grows older, she becomes interested in life as a human. In her quest for knowledge, she accidentally kills a peasant in the nearby village. She then takes her victim’s shape to live life in her skin. As her power grows, so too does her curiosity and things quickly go wayward.
A Well-Crafted Trailer
When it comes to horror films, less is often more, which is the case for this trailer. The trailer starts by showing scenes of landscapes, farmers, and children. The dark music in the background overshadows the horror that is to come. We see a frightened mother place her baby girl in a crib then close her shutters. She falls to her knees and we see the outline of a horrific monster in the background who snatches the baby and flees, despite the mother’s cries of pain.
As the baby girl grows into a woman, we see her take an interest in the world around her. Tones of piano music play softly in the background, mirroring the girl’s innocence. The music comes to a climax as we see the woman, now a witch, reach out to touch the skin of a little girl who screams and runs away. The woman then asks herself if she is the devil and maybe she is. The tone of the trailer switches from innocence to horror as the woman accidentally kills a villager before taking her skin to live life in her victim’s body. As the trailer comes to its climactic ending, we see flashes of images showing life for the witch in her new skin, glimpses of the crimes she commits, and a longing to experience life to the fullest. Throughout the trailer, director and writer Goran Stolevski relies heavily on closeups, leaving much to the audience’s imagination. The trailer itself is visually stunning, showing overcast skies, lush forests, and dark, twisted scenes of violence. From start to finish, the trailer is captivating, in a beautiful yet haunting way.
