The Korean-UK co-production will debut in the latter country next month.
The psychological chiller NERVOUS will have its world premiere August 27 as the opening film of 2026’s Tubi FrightFest, playing at London’s Odeon Leicester Square. The movie reunites director Abner Pastoll and star Sarah Bolger from the superior thriller A GOOD WOMAN IS HARD TO FIND; Pastoll scripted with Richard Hobley, and the cast also includes Ko Asung (THE HOST, SNOWPIERCER) and Sungsoo Yune. The synopsis: “Sarah [Bolger] and her husband Sungsoo [Yune] move to a house in the Korean countryside in the hope of saving their crumbling marriage. But their new home hides a strange secret—an unmarked vinyl record that plays nothing but silence. After listening to it, Sarah slowly begins to lose the ability to hear men’s voices, and her grip on reality starts to fracture. She becomes isolated from her husband as she is drawn to their enigmatic neighbor, Eunbyeol [Asung], whose raw, erotic presence unsettles and entices her. As Sarah’s obsession with the vinyl deepens, paranoia, hallucinations, and dangerous desires spiral out of control. With her mind unraveling, she must confront whether the horrors consuming her are psychological, or something far more sinister.”
