As a teen approaches graduation, it’s a time of fun and excitement but also anxiety and a bit of terror. You see, high school graduation marks the time when a kid is supposed to move into the real world and become an adult. But how can you possibly be thinking about all of that when your ex-boyfriend seemingly returns from the dead? That’s the problem that is facing Charlotte in the new thriller, “The Giant.”
And in honor of “The Giant arriving next month, we’re thrilled to offer our readers a first look at the exclusive trailer for the new film. As mentioned, the feature follows the story of Charlotte, a teenager that is supposed to be excited about graduating but then finds out that her boyfriend, someone that has gone missing and presumed dead, has returned. However, as he re-enters her life, the town is inundated with dead bodies of teen girls. Obviously, something is awry in this small town.
The film stars Odessa Young, Ben Schnetzer, Jack Kilmer, Madelyn Cline, Danny Ramirez, and PJ Marshall. “The Giant” marks the feature film debut for writer-director David Raboy. His new thriller debuted at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and would later go on to play the San Sebastian Film Festival.
“The Giant” is set to be released on VOD on November 13. You can see the exclusive trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
On her graduation night, Charlotte learns her first love has returned to her small Georgia town for the first time since vanishing the year before, in the midst of an awful trauma in her life. But on that night, a girl her age is found dead – and then another. Something terrible has arisen in this place, and as her final summer speeds towards a nightmarish conclusion, Charlotte gets the unshakeable feeling that somehow it is coming for her – in ways more troubling than she could ever know.
