Ari Aster just dropped the trailer for Eddington, and if you thought Beau Is Afraid broke brains, buckle up—this one’s gunning for the whole damn country.
Forget demons and death cults. This time, Aster’s horror is rooted in something way scarier: American society. Eddington takes aim at everything we pretend not to argue about at dinner—Christian nationalism, conspiracy theorists, social media chaos, pandemic paranoia, racism, and the rot hiding under “small town values.”
Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, and Austin Butler, Eddington is a dark comedy Western horror (yes, really) set in a New Mexico town during the early days of COVID-19. The sheriff and the mayor are at war, but the real feud is with reality itself.
Like Aster’s past films, this one refuses to be pinned down—and that’s exactly the point. Eddington isn’t just a film; it’s a grenade. Expect walkouts, standing ovations, heated thinkpieces, and a dozen TikTok breakdowns within 24 hours of release.
See it when it hits theaters nationwide on July 18, 2025. Just don’t expect a sit-back-and-relax experience.
