‘Cub’ Trailer: The Darkness Has Risen
The Belgian shocker Cub, which follows an outcast kid as his fellow scouts as they run afoul of a strange force in the woods, hit festivals last year, stopping by TIFF and Fantastic Fest on its way through the festival circuit. It’s an unusual piece of work that combines some out and out scares with moments that are so over the top that I couldn’t help but be impressed, regardless of whether or not I actually “liked” what I was seeing.
There’s not a lot out there like Cub, which is maybe a little more dark and crazy than the casual horror crowd wants to see. That could explain why the film is skipping theatrical release in the US and going right to disc. That release hits stores later this summer, and you can see a new Cub trailer right now.
This is a good trailer that shows more than I’d really like — the first minute or so (before the song really gets big) might be all you should watch if you want to avoid footage from late in the film.
