The playground has never looked so threatening. (Except if you were a kid growing up in the 80s or 90s, they were death traps!) Tubi’s upcoming original "Hive", directed by Felipe Vargas (Rosario), puts a dark twist on childhood innocence and the first trailer is here to scare things up a bit. It's been a while since we got any real "kid terror" flicks around here, so we're psyched.
WATCH THE TRAILER FOR "HIVE" BELOW
The story centers on a teenager tasked with watching a child who suddenly goes missing. As she searches, she discovers a lurking menace hidden among the kids. Her sense of reality begins to crack as she navigates a world where appearances deceive and danger hides behind every swing and slide. Survival depends on her cunning and nerve.
Fans of eerie child-focused horror—think The Children, Village of the Damned, and Cooties—will find plenty to enjoy here. Supernatural children, a foreboding playground, and a child-consuming slide all promise a chilling experience.
Xochitl Gomez (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) leads the cast, joined by Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building).
Hive hits Tubi on April 17.
