Per the official press release, Antebellum will follow “successful author Veronica Henley (Janelle Monáe), [who] finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it’s too late.” From the trailer, that “horrifying reality” appears to place Henley in a slavery setting (hence the title). The film is from the producers of Get Out and Us and it’s giving me The Shining meets... all of those critically acclaimed slavery movies.
