Verity trailer review

The teaser trailer for Verity is the perfect recipe for a thriller like this. The trailer doesn’t really give away too much of the plot, but promises a ton of twists and turns along the way. In the opening scene alone, Dakota Johnson begins kissing Josh Hartnett, only to suddenly be holding onto Anne Hathaway in the next moment. While likely not a real scene in the movie and more so a dream, but that only showcases the weird spiral Johnson’s character goes down in the movie.

Without knowing too much about the source material, Verity’s synopsis also seems ripe for something that will keep you guessing. The movie follows a writer tasked with helping to complete a book from a bestselling author. However, the trailer teases that things aren’t what they seem, and after finding a mysterious manuscript, she begins to wonder just how psychologically well-put the author is. The trailer’s tone suggests that there will be a ton of big twists along the way. What happened during Anne Hathaway’s character’s mysterious accident? How does Josh Hartnett fit into the story? Are we dealing with a potential horror situation?

In the end, Verity’s trailer doesn’t tell us much, but shows a lot. For a movie that’s very dependent on its twists and turns, that’s a good thing. You don’t need a lot to sell the movie already, as it features a star-studded cast and comes from an author who is quickly gaining extreme fame in the world of Hollywood. With the way the movie looks in just a brief snippet, it’ll be a proper mystery thriller we’ll be tuned in for.
