This trailer for Patient Seven won’t hurt a bit

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

A trailer and poster have dropped for PATIENT SEVEN, a title I'm not familiar with though I'm instantly intrigued. An anthology film based around a creepy sanitarium, it has an opportunity to spin a classic horror subgenre in a lot of possible directions. Check out the promo materials below!

The film will have a wraparound segment written by Barry Jay Stitch (THE CHOSEN) and directed by Danny Draven (REEL EVIL).

There will be seven individual segments helmeded by international directors including Nicholas Peterson, Paul Davis, Ómar Örn Hauksson, Dean Hewison, Erlingur Ottar Thoroddsen, Joel Morgan, Johannes Persson and Rasmus Wassberg.

Here's the synopsis:

The wraparound stars veteran actor and genre favorite, Michael Ironside (Scanners, Total Recall) as Dr. Marcus. Marcus, a renowned psychiatrist, has selected 6 severe mentally ill and dangerous patients from the Spring Valley Mental Hospital, to interview as part of research for his new book.

As Dr. Marcus interviews each patient, one by one the horrors they have committed begin to unfold. However, Dr. Marcus soon learns that there is one patient who has been kept from him by the hospital’s administrator, Dr. Vincent – played by Jack Plotnick (Drawn Together, Reno 911!: Miami).

The cast also includes Amy Smart (CRANK), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), and Doug Jones (PAN'S LABYRINTH).
