The unnerving trailer for the Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway-starring thriller Eileen has been released ahead of the film's arrival in Irish cinemas in December.
The synopsis for Eileen reads: "Based on the book of the same name by literary powerhouse Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen follows a peculiar young woman whose dreary life stretches on toward unending misery.
"In frigid 1960s Boston, Eileen (Thomasin McKenzie) shuffles between her father's dingy, emotionally haunted home and the prison where she works alongside colleagues who have ostracised her.
"When an intoxicating woman (Anne Hathaway) joins the prison staff, Eileen is taken.
"Just when the possibility of a salvational friendship (or maybe more) takes hold and forms a singular glimmer in Eileen's darkness, her newfound confidant entangles her in a shocking crime that alters all."
Directed by William Oldroyd (Lady Macbeth), Eileen opens in Irish cinemas on Friday 1 December.
