‘Woman in the Yard’ Trailer: Blumhouse Can Terrify You Just By Sitting And Staring

It’s not too often that a trailer for a horror movie can get under my skin. The big one recently was 28 Years Later, and that didn’t even really settle in until I saw the trailer in theaters with Nosferatu. Blumhouse, which is currently the horror studio that’s basically got a monopoly on lower-budget horror movies, didn’t exactly have a great 2024, so I’m thinking they’re gonna be coming in strong with 2025. They’ve got sequels to M3GAN and The Black Phone, as well as their most successful film, Five Nights at Freddy’s, all coming out this year. Wolf Man is also out in a few days, so they’re going to try and start off strong. There’s a chance they get this to go longer with a new, mysterious horror movie.
Woman in the Yard follows a family who discovers a mysterious woman who repeatedly appears in their front yard, often delivering chilling warnings or unsettling messages, leaving them to question who she is, her motives, and how dangerous she could be. No one knows where the woman came from, but all she’s saying is that “today is the day.” I’m sure that another trailer will come out for this, but for a big horror studio like Blumhouse, this was the most I’ve been interested in one of their projects just based on a teaser. It’s not too often that I think a Blumhouse movie could be a hit, but maybe with Wolf Man coming out this week, they could get on a hot streak with that and Woman in the Yard.
Woman in the Yard stars Danielle Deadwyler (The Piano Lesson, I Saw The TV Glow), Okwui Ojpokwasili (Agatha All Along, The Exorcist: Believer), Russell Hornsby (The Hate U Give, Fences), Peyton Jackson, and Estella Kahiha.
Universal is releasing Woman in the Yard in theaters on March 28th, 2025.
