20 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies
18. The Neon Demon
Release Date: June 24th (US), July 8th (UK)
Director Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Only God Forgives) side-steps his usual testosterone-driven territory in favour of a female-dominated story set in the world of high fashion - and, while his films have always had a distinctly nightmarish tinge and tendencies toward ultraviolence, The Neon Demon (set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where it's in competition for the Palmes D'or) is being promoted as his first real horror movie.
Little has been revealed plot-wise, though it is known Elle Fanning stars as up-and-coming model Jesse, who makes a splash in LA. The released synopsis tells us she "finds her vitality and youth are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will use any means to get what she has;" however, watching the trailers for the movie, it seems apparent that Jesse may be something of a threat all on her own.
