It’s Nightbitch, bitch! Six-time Oscar nominee, Amy “Give Her That Statuette” Adams finds herself in a hairy situation in the very first trailer for Marielle Heller’s horror-comedy feature about an artist who puts her career on hold to become a mother, only to realise she may be transforming into a dog.

As eloquently expressed by the film’s star in the trailer, “I’m never going to be smart, happy or thin ever again. Oh, and I’m pretty sure I’m turning into a dog.” The film also stars Scott McNairy, Zoë Chao and Mary Holland, among others. Marielle Heller both writes and directs Nightbitch, which marks the filmmaker’s first film since her heartfelt Fred Rogers biopic starring Tom Hanks and Matthew Rhys, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, released in 2019.

Nightbitch is based on the Rachel Yoder novel of the same name, which was described by critics as a “mischievous commentary on the neuroses of modern womanhood” and breathing “new life into the cold, furry flesh of the monstrous femme”. Nightbitch will receive its global premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend, before heading to the big screen from December 6th, courtesy of Searchlight Pictures.
