Nathalie Emmanuel & Claire Forlani in Thriller ‘Confinement’ Trailer​

“Trust me. We take care of our own.” She doesn’t sound very trustworthy! Paramount Movies has revealed an official trailer for a crazy family thriller Confinement from the UK, ready for release next month. This being sent directly to VOD starting in the fall – not exactly the most exciting horror release. But then again this doesn’t look that exciting either, another been there don’t that story we’ve seen many times before. Get Out meets Rosemary’s Baby meets Ready or Not – is the best pitch for this. A grieving widow is invited to her late husband’s family estate to recover, but when she is forced to stay until she gives birth, she must confront whether her child is cursed or if she is losing her mind. This looks creepy but also this family looks totally nuts! This new horror thriller stars Nathalie Emmanuel as Stella, along with Ben Cura, Eloise Lovell Anderson, Charlie Hiscock, and Claire Forlani. Another direct-to-video movie we can all skip.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Peter Howitt’s thriller Confinement, direct from YouTube:

Pregnant and recently widowed, Stella (starring Nathalie Emmanuel) is taken in by her late husband’s estranged family. But beneath their generosity lies something deeply unsettling, leaving Stella fighting for her life as their obsession with her unborn child turns deadly. When she is forced to stay until she gives birth, she must confront whether her child is cursed or if she is losing her mind. Confinement is directed by British actor / filmmaker Peter Howitt, director of the movies Sliding Doors, Antitrust, Johnny English, Laws of Attraction, Dangerous Parking, Radio Rebel, Reasonable Doubt, and Scorched Earth previously. The screenplay is written by Will Honley and April Maguire. It’s produced by Steven Paul. This film hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Paramount Movies debuts Howitt’s Confinement thriller direct-to-VOD starting on September 1st, 2026 coming up soon. Anyone interested in watching?
