Writer director Mariama Diallo's feature debut, Master, is set to premiere in select theatres and on Prime Video on March 18, and the first trailer is now online.
This creepy-looking supernatural horror stars Regina Hall (Nine Perfect Strangers) as Professor Gail Bishop, who is offered the position of "Master" of a prestigious college. Along with freshman student Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee) and fellow professor Liv Beckman (Amber Gray), Gail becomes embroiled in a racially-charged conspiracy involving a mysterious curse and a terrifying entity roaming the corridors.
Although the trailer doesn't really give us a whole lot to go on when it comes to the plot (that's a good thing!), this is an effectively foreboding teaser for the film, which is said to take influence from the likes of Get Out, The Shining, and even Rosemary's Baby.
Take a look at the trailer below along with a new poster, and let us know if you plan on checking this one out.
Professor Gail Bishop (Regina Hall) has recently been promoted to “Master” of a residence hall, the first time at storied Ancaster College that a Black woman has held the post. Determined to breathe new life into a centuries-old tradition, Gail soon finds herself wrapped up in the trials and tribulations of Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee), an energetic and optimistic Black freshman. Jasmine’s time at Ancaster hits a snag early on when she’s assigned a dorm room that is rumored to be haunted. Things get worse when Jasmine clashes in the classroom with Liv Beckman (Amber Gray), a professor in the middle of her own racially charged tenure review. As Gail tries to maintain order and fulfill the duties of a Master, the cracks begin to show in Ancaster’s once-immaculate facade. After a career spent fighting to make it into Ancaster’s inner circle, Gail is confronted with the horrifying prospect of what lies beneath, her question ultimately becoming not whether the school is haunted, but by whom.
