"DON'T MOVE" Unleashes a Terrifying Prehistoric Spider Nightmare [TRAILER]

Written By: Sam Santiago

It's common knowledge to many of our friends that we do not care for Spiders. We're not talking the little daddy long legs ya find in your grandma's house, no those are fine. We're talking the big ones! You know those big arachnids we find in horror movies or Australia. Yeah those ones give me the willies and new film, Don't Move gives us a reason to hate the little buggers even more. 

The first trailer has arrived for the upcoming creature feature based on the 2020 novel by Impractical Jokers star James "Murr" Murray and co-author Darren Wearmouth, giving horror fans their first look at a prehistoric predator that doesn't just hunt its prey... it waits for them to make the first move.

Directed by Maclain Nelson (Vamp U) from a screenplay co-written by Nelson, Murray and Wearmouth, Don't Move follows a church group's annual retreat into the Ozark wilderness that takes a deadly turn after they stumble into territory they were never meant to enter.

As members of the group begin disappearing one by one, suspicion initially falls on Ricky (Russell "Russ" Vitale), the retreat's resident troublemaker. Before long, however, they discover the real threat lurking in the forest. Hidden within a sprawling maze of webs is a massive prehistoric arachnid that hunts by sensing vibrations, turning every footstep into a potentially fatal mistake.

With nowhere left to run, Megan (Lyndsy Fonseca) must keep what's left of the group alive long enough to escape.

Fonseca (Kick-Ass) leads a cast that includes Russell "Russ" Vitale, Tom Cavanagh (The Flash), Hunter King (Life in Pieces), Rob Riggle (The Hangover), and Joseph Lee Anderson (Young Rock). The film will also feature several cameos, including T-Pain, Matt Biedel, and fellow Impractical Jokers stars Brian Quinn and James Murray himself.

Speaking about the film's creature, Murray explained that he wanted something that felt completely unknowable.

"It's like an alien. It really is. It moves like an alien. It doesn't think as we do. There's no reasoning with it. And that's what I love about Don't Move, the book and the movie. The horror mimics my favorite horror movie of all time, The Descent. It works on three levels. It's human versus the other, which is this creature that cannot be reasoned with. You can't talk your way around it. It's completely alien."

The film will premiere at the Midland Theater in Kansas City on September 8 before heading to the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on September 9. Don't Move then crawls into theaters nationwide on September 11.

The trailer wisely keeps the creature mostly hidden, relying on webs, shadows and mounting tension instead of revealing too much too soon. Sometimes the less you see, the more unsettling the threat becomes.
