Whalefall, the upcoming survival thriller starring Resident Evil star Austin Abrams, is set for release in theaters soon. The movie is set to be released next month, and there are a few strong line-ups next month. With Halloween, people will be more drawn to the horror movies, thus this has a very strong chance of performing well.
It is based on the 2023 novel by Daniel Kraus, who co-wrote the script with the film’s director, Brian Duffield. The book received quite positive reviews and was also included on an esteemed media house’s list of the Best Thrillers of 2023. It features Austin Abrams in the leading role with Josh Brolin and Elisabeth Shue in key roles.
