Exclusive trailer and poster: Supernatural evil breeds in “THE NURSERY”

Thanks to horror cinema, babysitting is one of the most high-risk jobs, and the latest young woman to find that out is the heroine of THE NURSERY, out this summer. We’ve got an exclusive first look at the trailer and poster.

No relation to the recent Asian horror film of the same title, THE NURSERY was directed by Christopher A. Micklos and Jay Sapiro from Micklos’ screenplay, and stars Maddi Conway, Emmaline Friederichs, Carly Sauer, Claudio Parrone, Jr., Monica Bahr, Marco Lama, Nadia Horner, David Sapiro and Deanna Sapiro. Uncork’d Entertainment releases it June 5 on VOD and August 7 on DVD. The synopsis: “When Ranae [Conway], a college student, babysits for a family with a tragic history, she finds herself stalked by a sinister presence and haunted by ghosts from her own past. Soon, she and her friends must confront the angry, evil spirit hunting them down one by one on a deliberate march towards its ultimate prey.”
