25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2018 - Ranked

10. Under The Silver Lake

Under The Silver Lake Andrew Garfield
A24

Release Date: June 22

Billed As: The latest film from It Follows director David Robert Mitchell revolves around Sam (Andrew Garfield), a young drifter whose life is upended when his gorgeous neighbour (Riley Keough) goes missing and he decides to play detective across Los Angeles.

Hype: Mitchell's rep speaks for itself, but with the film set to premiere at Cannes later this month, there's a whirlwind of hype swirling over just how great it could end up being. The trailer looks both ambitious and visually lavish, recalling classic neo-noirs such as Brick, while also not merely rehashing the style and tone of his previous horror hit.

Sure, it's possible that Mitchell's reach could exceed his grasp, because Cannes' history is filled with bold movies that ultimately flopped, but if it lives up to even a fraction of the buzz, it's going to be an instant cult classic.
