Kevin Williamson (Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer) returns to the slasher movie arena with Sick, which we’ve learned is being surprise-released by Peacock in one week.
Sick is premiering on Peacock on Friday, January 13, 2023!
You can watch the official trailer for Sick below, a COVID-era slasher that finds two friends being stalked by a masked maniac while they’re quarantining at a remote lake house.
John Hyams (Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, “Black Summer”) directed Sick from a story by Williamson, and it’s being described as a “lean, mean, and wickedly timely slasher.”
In the film, “As the pandemic steadily brings the world to a halt, Parker and her best friend Miri decide to quarantine at the family lake house alone—or so they think.”
Joe Lipsett wrote in his review for BD, “Thankfully the rest of the film is so strong that this is an easy recommendation. Sick feels like a welcome home party for Williamson: fans of Scream will find plenty of callbacks to his most famous work, especially the opening scene when college student Tyler is harassed by threatening texts before he’s attacked in his home.”
From Blumhouse and Miramax, Sick is written by Kevin Williamson and Katelyn Crabb, and stars Gideon Adlon (Blockers, The Craft: Legacy), Bethlehem Million (And Just Like That), Marc Menchaca (The Outsider, Ozark) and Jane Adams (Twin Peaks, Poltergeist, Hacks).
