Introducing the Chilling Poster for “Cobweb” – Prepare for Sleepless Nights
Today, horror enthusiasts are in for a spine-tingling treat as Lionsgate unveils the trailer and a fresh poster for their latest hair-raising feature, “Cobweb.” Helmed by Samuel Bodin (known for T.A.N.K.), this thriller promises to send shivers down your spine. The newly revealed poster captures the eerie atmosphere of the film, focusing on the unsettling ordeal of a young boy within the confines of his own nightmarish home.
The poster showcases Woody Norman’s character, Peter, peacefully asleep on his bed. Little does he know, a malevolent presence hovers over him, its ghostly hand gripping him tightly with long, menacing nails. Given that much of the film’s terror unfolds in Peter’s room, it is fitting that the poster highlights this supposed safe haven. The background features a window allowing dim light to filter through, while a clock ominously displays the time as 11:21. Though seemingly insignificant, these numbers may hold a key to the film’s plot.

“Cobweb” guarantees to keep audiences on the edge of their seats until the climactic conclusion. The movie introduces Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr as Peter’s parents, who must confront a mysterious tapping sound resonating from within their walls. Initially supportive and caring, the patience of the parents wears thin as their child’s nightmares persist. Thankfully, Peter’s teacher, Miss Devine (played by Cleopatra Coleman), senses something amiss in the child’s life, prompting her own investigation into the family. As the film’s tagline warns, “Sooner or later, family secrets creep out,” hinting that the home is not what it appears to be.
