Co-written/directed by Brian Duffield, Whalefall is the story of a scuba diver left with just one hour of oxygen after the worst happens during an important dive.

Austin Abrams, Elisabeth Shue, Emily Rudd and Josh Brolin are among the key cast.

Yeah! More Austin Abrams. No. This is not good for my claustrophobia and fear of the deep ocean.

What a clever trailer. As terrified as I was while it played, I couldn’t look away. Still, that’s ‘light work’ when it comes to a two-and-a-half-minute trailer. But for a whole movie? I may surprise myself upon release, but let’s just say that I’m happy for those who love this sort of thing.

I’m now wondering how clearly we’ll be able to see all the action, considering the darkness at the deep depths. Perhaps that’s part of the horror. This may not be categorised as a horror movie, but ‘horror’ still feels super accurate.

Is Whalefall your kind of thing?

Jane Levy, John Ortiz, Mark Meloro Jr., Grayson Paul Solomine, Sam Skolnik, Sam Franich, Nicholas Gould and Laurel Lane Bowen also star.

Whalefall Release Dates: October 16th, 2026 (US & UK)…
