Vertical has released an updated official trailer for the psychological thriller Pendulum, which opens in theaters nationwide on January 1, 2027.
Marketed as coming from the filmmakers of Black Swan, the film follows Patrick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Abigail (Phoebe Dynevor), who seek healing at a secluded new-age retreat in New Mexico after a shared tragedy. As Abigail falls deeper under the spell of the group’s charismatic leader, played by Jacki Weaver, Patrick’s fear for his wife spirals into something far more sinister. Is he losing her to a cult, or losing his grip on reality?
Mark Heyman (Black Swan) writes and directs. Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan) is among the producers, alongside Jacob Jaffke, Élan Klein Jaffke, Will Greenfield, Heyman, and Dave Caplan.
Gordon-Levitt (Inception) and Dynevor (Bridgerton) lead a cast that also includes Anna Deavere Smith, Jena Malone (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), and Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook). The film is rated R and runs 109 minutes.
Pendulum opens in theaters nationwide on January 1, 2027.
