Overview
- Focus Features expands Yorgos Lanthimos’s English-language remake to U.S. theaters on Oct. 31 following a late-October limited run.
- The story tracks two conspiracy-obsessed cousins who abduct a pharmaceutical chief executive, using the premise to probe late-stage capitalism, internet-fueled radicalization and environmental dread.
- Critics diverge on emphasis, with some framing it as a tense chamber thriller and others as pointed satire, while Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and newcomer Aidan Delbis draw consistent praise.
- Craft notes stand out, including Jerskin Fendrix’s unnerving score, needle-drops from Chappell Roan and Green Day, and striking posters and title design by longtime collaborator Vasilis Marmatakis.
- A streaming date has not been announced; reporting suggests Peacock is likely within roughly 45–90 days of release, though this remains unconfirmed.
