‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ Trailer — A Disturbing Gothic Classic Comes To Life
The feminist literary horror classic The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins has received a new adaptation, and today we get our first glimpse of the film. This indie chiller from Mutiny Pictures looks promising and reeks of gloomy, gothic elegance. Check out the full trailer below.
The debut feature hailing from creative duo Alexandra Loreth and Kevin Pontuti is being described as a bold and original vision of madness. In The Yellow Wallpaper, Jane, a writer and young mother, is prescribed a rest treatment by her physician husband John, who takes her to a remote country estate for the summer. She becomes obsessed with the peculiar yellow wallpaper in the bedroom he has chosen for her. In her isolation, she secretly writes about a woman trapped in the wallpaper—that she must free.
The Yellow Wallpaper is a dark and disturbing contemporary adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s well-known and controversial gothic feminist horror story about patriarchy and mental health.
The film is a collaboration between partners Alexandra Loreth and Kevin Pontuti and stars Alexandra Loreth, Joe Mullins, Clara Hart, and Jeanne O’Connor. The adaptation was written by Alexandra Loreth and Kevin Pontuti and directed by Pontuti.
The Yellow Wallpaper had its World Premiere at Cinequest, followed by a successful festival run. Mutiny Pictures will release the film on March 29.
