Well Go USA has issued the trailer and poster for SYNCHRONIC, directed by Justin Benson (who also scripted) and Aaron Moorhead, which hits theaters and drive-ins October 23. Anthony Mackie, Jamie Dornan, Katie Aselton (SHE DIES TOMORROW), Ally Ioannides and Bill Oberst Jr. star; the synopsis: “When New Orleans paramedics and longtime best friends Steve [Mackie] and Dennis [Dornan] are called to a series of bizarre, gruesome accidents, they chalk it up to the mysterious new party drug found at the scene. But after Dennis’ oldest daughter suddenly disappears, Steve stumbles upon a terrifying truth about the supposed psychedelic that will challenge everything he knows about reality–and the flow of time itself.” Check out our review of SYNCHRONIC, and see a note from the filmmakers about the release here.
