This exclusive clip from Rob Schroeder’s Ultrasound gives a new meaning to feeling the baby move! Based on the comic book, Generous Bosom, by Conor Stechschulte the story follows three parallel storylines, beginning with Glen who experiences car trouble driving home late at night. But not to fret! Luckily he spots a house, knocks on the door, and is greeted by the oddly friendly middle-aged Arthur, and his younger wife, Cyndi. The strange couple pours him a drink, and then more drinks, followed by an unexpected offer that Glen can’t refuse.
Elsewhere, Katie is feeling emotionally weighed down by a secret romantic arrangement that feels like a textbook case of gaslighting. While at the same time, in a nondescript research facility, medical professional Shannon begins questioning her role in a bizarre experiment, fearing that she’s doing more harm than good.
Schroeder paid special attention to sound for Ultrasound, wanting to play with auditory manipulation.
The role of sound and music in Ultrasound was—for lack of a better word—amplified compared to other film scores. The concepts of auditory manipulation and the physical/mental repercussions of prolonged exposure to sound were both inspiring and slightly terrifying to Zak at the onset of the project. Combining these ideas with the responsibility of capturing the human experience of the film’s characters was the balance he and sound-designer Bobb Barito had to strike.
Written by Conor Stechschulte and starring Vincent Kartheiser, Chelsea Lopez, Bob Stephenson, Breeda Wool, Tunde Adebimpe, and Rainey Qualley. Take a peek at the exclusive clip below, and check out Ultrasound in theaters and on demand March 11, 2022.
