More About Cobweb
In Screen Rant’s bone-chilling exclusive Cobweb clip, Miss Devine arrives at Peter’s home to check on him. When there is no answer at the door, she carefully goes inside, still searching for the young boy. However, instead of finding her favorite student, she walks into a horror show and is scratched by the entity that has been haunting Peter’s life and influencing him to make terrible decisions.
Although Peter’s parents are attempting to protect him, their need to keep secrets has only caused trouble for their son and irreparably changed his life. Cobweb takes the classic horror trope of insidiously creeping into the mind of a child and making him question the world around him and his loved ones. While Peter is isolated throughout Cobweb, making him vulnerable to the monster, Miss Devine could be the saving grace he needs because she chooses to connect with him even as others shy away from him.
Cobweb is directed by Samuel Bodin from a screenplay penned by Chris Thomas Devlin. Cobweb stars Lizzy Caplan, Woody Norman, Cleopatra Coleman, and Antony Starr. Cobweb is produced by Roy Lee, Andrew Childs, Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen, James Weaver, and Josh Fagen. Cobweb has a runtime of 88 minutes and is rated R.
Cobweb is available on digital now.
