Shadow in the Cloud teaser: Chloe Grace Moretz fights a gremlin in January

A couple months ago, we caught word that Vertical Entertainment and Redbox Entertainment had picked up the North American distribution rights to director Roseanne Liang's World War II action horror film Shadow in the Cloud, and now we know exactly what they have planned for it. Shadow in the Cloud is getting an On Demand release on January 1st.

The release date was revealed by star Chloe Grace Moretz, who took to her Twitter account to not only announce the release date, but also to share the film's teaser trailer. 

Shadow in the Cloud is based on an original script by Max Landis, but Landis is not credited on the finished film. Liang did extensive rewrites on the script, telling the story of 

a badass female World War II pilot who joins an unsuspecting crew on a bomber. She’s carrying top secret cache on a B-17 Flying Fortress. The crew’s sexist taunts and surprise encounters with enemy fighter planes become the least of her worries as she goes up against an evil presence on board the flight that is tearing the plane apart bolt by bolt.

That "evil presence" is a gremlin – so this movie can be described as "Chloe Grace Moretz vs. a gremlin"! Moretz's co-stars include Nick Robinson, Callan Mulvey, and Beulah Koale.

Our own Chris Bumbray was not a fan of Shadow in the Cloud, describing it as "little more than a rip-off of the well-worn Twilight Zone: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet episode" and giving it a 3/10 review. There's a line in the teaser that definitely brings the Twilight Zone episode to mind, and it's surrounded by glimpses of some crazy action… some of it maybe a bit too crazy.
