Anthony Hopkins (Rebel Moon) and Bill Skarsgård (Nosferatu) face off in the upcoming horror thriller Locked, which, based on the trailer, looks a bit like Saw on wheels.
Directed by David Yarovesky (Nightbooks) and produced by Sam Raimi (the Evil Dead franchise), Locked stars Skarsgård as Eddie, a down-on-his-luck thief who breaks into a swanky SUV. But this is no luxury vehicle: It belongs to William (Hopkins), a vigilante who has tricked out his car in order to catch thieves and enact his own form of justice.
As William tells Eddie over the phone, he’s put a lot of time and money into crafting the perfect torture vehicle. The walls and windows are bulletproof and there’s no cell service, so there’s no way out. Plus, the seats are able to tase Eddie, and William can lower or raise the temperature however he sees fit.
Yet William doesn’t want to kill Eddie outright. Instead, as he remotely takes the car for a spin — potentially killing several pedestrians along the way — his goal is simply to introduce Eddie to “a little taste of hell.”
Locked hits theaters March 21.
