Neon has released the official trailer for Her Private Hell.

Filled with sex, glamour, and violence, the moody trailer for Nicolas Winding Refn’s first film in a decade follows a melancholic actress (Sophie Thatcher) and an American GI (Charles Melton), whose parallel storylines are connected by a killer known as the Leatherman.

In addition to Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets) and Charles Melton (Beef), Havana Rose Liu (Bottoms) stars as the stylish best-friend-turned-stepmom of Thatcher’s character, while Kristine Froseth (The Buccaneers) plays a ditzy, fame-hungry starlet.

At a costume fitting, Froseth’s character, Hunter, tells her co-stars “there’s been another victim of the Leatherman”, while Melton’s vengeful Private K. asks in voiceover, ‘Is he a ghost? A monster? A god?”

Earning characteristically divisive reactions at its Cannes premiere, Her Private Hell marks Nicolas Winding Refn’s return to the big screen after a decade. The Danish auteur is known for Drive, Only God Forgives, and The Neon Demon.

The Danish auteur is known for Drive, Only God Forgives, and The Neon Demon, and the two teasers released for the new film feature a similar love of bright neon colours and lush cinematography.

Her Private Hell is in US cinemas from July 24th and UK cinemas from September 25th. Watch the trailer below.
