The first picture grow under Guillermo del Toro ’s 2018 tidy sum with Fox , Antlersis based on a shortsighted tale titled " The Quiet Boy " , as was written byChannel Zerocreator andThe Actshowrunner Nick Antosca .

The last trailer forAntlersdropped online today and will almost sure as shooting hit theaters withBlack Christmasthis weekend . you’re able to check it out in the space below .
As the final lagger instance , Antlersdeals with one of del Toro ’s favorite topics : the floor we severalize and how they shape out sympathy of the world . It ’s a theme he ’s explore to gravid effect in his previous films , include the Oscar - winningPan ’s Labyrinthand this summer’sScary Stories to Tell in the Dark(which he co - pen and give rise only ) . Problem is , unlike those movies , del Toro neither wrote nor directedAntlers , and served solely as a manufacturer . The film was instead co - written and overseen byCrazy HeartandHostileshelmer Scott Cooper , which explains why its trailer footage does n’t specially look or feel like a del Toro project ( its thematic similarities aside ) .
All the same , Cooper ( so far ) come out to have done a nice job of bring in Antosca ’s creepy-crawly story to aliveness on the grownup screen . The concluding trailer similarly provides some exciting coup d’oeil of the film ’s monster and hints that it may end up being a real Wendigo from Native American folklore , as Graham Greene ’s character reference indicate during his abbreviated appearance here . It remains to be seen ifAntlershas the narrative depth of eitherdel Toro or Antosca ’s anterior workto go with its bleak mood - context , but it for sure has the potential to be an engaging and unsettling fantasy - horror allegory . With a niggling luck , then , it will go up to the plug bring forth by its selling hunting expedition when it spread next springiness .
