20th Digital Studio and Hulu’s new horror featureClockis set to make its World Premiere at the Overlook Film Festival. Described not only as a horror film, but a psychological thriller, the film starsDianna AgronandMelora Hardinand comes from directorAlexis Jacknow. To mark the film’s World Premiere announcement, 20th Digital Studio and Hulu have revealed a first look at Agron in the film.
Clockfollows a woman who bows to the societal pressures put upon her by friends and family to become a mother. Agron stars as Ella, who enrolls in a clinical trial to try and fix her potentially broken biological clock in order to have children.Jay Aliportrays Agron’s husband, and Hardin stars as the pioneering doctor managing Ella’s treatment. The film was written and directed by Jacknow and was developed from a previous short film of the same name, commissioned in 2020 by 20th Digital Studio as part of the first season of the studio’sBite Size Halloweenseries. Given the genre and the gritty nature of the first-look images, expect the ‘medical treatment’ that lies at the film’s center to be something of a radical undertaking for Agron’s character. The images in question all showcase Agron’s Ella: one in a tearful close-up, another laid down in a Hospital gown preparing for medical treatment in a less than warm-looking setting, and another picturing her with a piercing stare.
