Succession‘s Dasha Nekrasova is making her feature directorial debut with The Scary of Sixty-First. We are getting major ’70s genre vibes from the trailer, following Noelle and Addie through Manhattan’s Upper East Side as they hunt for an apartment. Things take a strange turn as they fall deep into conspiracy theories. Check out the official synopsis and trailer below.
While out apartment hunting, college pals Noelle and Addie stumble upon the deal of a lifetime: a posh duplex on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. But soon after moving in, a more sinister picture of the apartment emerges when a mysterious woman arrives and claims the property used to belong to the infamous and recently-deceased Jeffrey Epstein.
With this news, Noelle becomes obsessed with the visitor—to the point of infatuation. As the pair plunge deeper into the conspiracies of the Epstein case, Addie falls into her own bizarre state: a pseudo-possession complete with inexplicable fits of age-regressed sexual mania. As they peel back on these strange occurrences, the truth reveals itself to be more twisted than they could have ever imagined.
The Scary of Sixty-First opens Friday Dec. 3rd at Los Feliz Cinematheque in LA (35mm), Friday Dec. 17th at the Quad Cinema in NY (35mm) and will be available on Digital platforms and expanding to more theaters starting Dec. 24th
