The makers of the upcoming horror thriller Dear David released the film's trailer on Thursday. Directed by John Mcphail, Dear David is based on former BuzzFeed employee Adam Ellis' Twitter Thread of the same name. The film will hit release on October 13.
The film's official logline read, "Shortly after comic artist Adam (Augustus Prew) responds to Internet trolls, he begins experiencing sleep paralysis — while an empty rocking chair moves in the corner of his apartment. As he chronicles increasingly malevolent occurrences in a series of tweets, Adam begins to believe he is being haunted by the ghost of a dead child named David. Encouraged by his boss to continue the "Dear David" thread, Adam starts to lose his grip on what is online…and what is real."
Here is the trailer
Dear David stars Augustus Prew as Ellis, with Justin Long and Andrea Bang in supporting roles.
Penned by Mike Van Waes, Dear David is a co-production between BuzzFeed Studios and Lionsgate Films.
