“If it’s not revenge, what would you want?“ Anna Gunn is asked in a new trailer for Alison Star Locke’s first feature, “The Apology.” Penned by Locke, the horror pic stars the Emmy-winning “Breaking Bad” alumna as Darlene, a mom coping with the aftermath of her daughter’s mysterious disappearance 20 years in the past. “I could never feel whole again,” the grieving mom explains.
“The Apology” sees Darlene, a recovering alcoholic, struggling to maneuver on from the tragedy as she prepares for a Christmas household gathering with the assistance of her pal Gretchen (Janeane Garofalo, “Wet Hot American Summer”). In response to a information report in regards to the still-unsolved case, Gretchen asks, “Why do they call it an anniversary like it’s something to celebrate?”
On Christmas Eve, Darlene’s estranged ex-brother-in-law Jack (Linus Roache) makes an unbidden go to “bearing nostalgic gifts and a heavy secret. Soon, Darlene finds herself caught between reason and ruthless instinct. Trapped together by a dangerous storm, a battle of wits escalates to a violent game of revenge,” per the movie’s synopsis.
Gunn was final seen in Season 2 of Annie Weisman’s Apple TV+ “Physical,” a darkish comedy starring Rose Byrne as a struggling housewife who finds empowerment by means of aerobics. In 2013 and 2014, Gunn took residence Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her position as Skyler White in acclaimed crime drama “Breaking Bad.”
Not her first foray into the horror style, “The Apology” follows Locke’s quick movie “Shhhhhhh…” which tells the story of a brand new mom and her child who’re visited by a sinister presence.
“The Apology” will hit theaters and be out there on AMC+ December 16.
