We've been excited for Daily Dead readers to check out Ben Young's Hounds of Love since our own Heather Wixson saw it at SXSW, calling it a "harrowing and boundary-pushing thriller" in her review. Now, ahead of its theatrical and VOD release on May 12th, you can get an idea of what to expect in the film's haunting new trailer.

Synopsis: "In suburban Perth during the mid 1980s, people are unaware that women are disappearing at the hands of serial killer couple John and Evelyn White. After an innocent lapse in judgment, Vicki Maloney is randomly abducted by the disturbed couple. With her murder imminent, Vicki realizes she must find a way to drive a wedge between Evelyn and John if she is to survive. Hounds of Love is an exercise in expertly-crafted tension, offering a bold, challenging debut from writer/director Ben Young."

Written and directed by Ben Young, Hounds of Love stars Emma Booth, Ashleigh Cummings, Stephen Curry, Susie Porter, Damian de Montemas, Harrison Gilbertson, and Fletcher Humphrys. Gunpowder & Sky will release the film in theaters and on VOD beginning May 12th. In case you missed it, check out Heather's SXSW interview with Ashleigh Cummings.
