THE AVIARY Trailer Sees Malin Akerman And Lorenza Izzo Battle The Elements And Inner-Demons
Debut writer/director duo Chris Cullari and Jennifer Raite are on deck this month with an April 29 release for Saban Films thriller, The Aviary. Peep the official trailer above and official stills at the bottom of the page along with official poster ink!
Malin Akerman, Lorenza Izzo, and Chris Messina star in this twisted thriller about two women’s desperate attempt to flee the clutches of Skylight, an insidious cult.
Trapped at Skylight’s isolated desert campus, The Aviary, Jillian (Akerman), and Blair (Izzo) join forces to make a treacherous escape. Alone in the harsh wilderness, they are consumed by paranoia and unable to shake the feeling that they are being followed by the cult’s leader, Seth (Messina), a man as seductive as he is controlling. With supplies dwindling and their senses failing, Jillian and Blair are faced with a horrifying question: how do you run from an enemy who lives inside your head?
The feature directorial debut from Chris Cullari and Jennifer Raite who, as writers and creators, have frequently collaborated with Blumhouse TV on projects and first-look deals, and made a splash with their 2012 Vimeo Staff Pick horror-comedy short THE SLEEPOVER. The duo created and served as executive producers on the 2016 Blumhouse and YouTube Red series 12 Deadly Days and have present and upcoming projects and pilots in development with Universal Television, The CW, CBS TV Studios, and Blumhouse.
THE AVIARY stars Malin Akerman (Dollface, WATCHMEN), who also executive produced, alongside Lorenza Izzo (Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, KNOCK KNOCK), and Chris Messina (I CARE A LOT, The Mindy Project). It’s produced by Marcei A. Brown (GET OUT, BLACKKKLANSMAN), Andrew Miller (NOTHING), celebrated prestige television producer Jessica Rhoades (Utopia, Dirty John, Sharp Objects), and former Blumhouse Head of Production Jeanette Volturno, who most recently served as executive producer on David Gordon Green’s HALLOWEEN ENDS and Iris K. Shim’s UMMA.

I only knew Malin Ackerman because of The Final Girls, but I loved her performance in that movie that I watched her other films. I am excited to see her in another thriller/horror.
Eli Roth’s wife is typecast again. 😅

That’s the thing about cults. In real life, once you get in them, it’s very hard to get out of them. Hard. But not impossible. However, The Aviary isn’t real life. It’s a movie. I thought the trailer was kind of cheesy. It doesn’t really look like it will be as exciting as they want to make it out to be. But I come from the generation of the real Jonestown cult massacre. That was a true story and it was sickening! So if i’m going to watch another cult movie, I’d rather it be fiction like The Aviary.
