Chris Hemsworth plays love doctor to Miles Teller in new clip from Netflix's Spiderhead
The thriller follows a tech visionary who invites inmates to participate in mind-altering experiments in order to cut time off their sentences
Can love be intravenously administered? During its Geeked Week 2022 stream, Netflix released a clip from the upcoming film Spiderhead. In the clip, Chris Hemsworth’s character—measured tech mogul Steve Abnesti—puts inmates Jeff (Miles Teller) and Heather (Tess Haubrich) to that very test.
The “darkly psychological thriller,” coming to the streamer later this month follows the mysterious happenings at Spiderhead, a remote, technologically advanced facility where prisoners are able to take time off their sentences by participating in experiments with mind-altering substances.
In the trailer released last month, viewers learn that these experiments range from silly to downright sinister—and Abnesti’s passion for the project proves dangerous.
The new clip released today shows Jeff and Heather as they undergo an experiment with love potion-like substances that put them in the mood for more than just romance. Jeff and Heather are seated opposite each other in the experimentation room, while Abnesti asks them questions through an intercom system from his ivory-tower viewing deck. First, he has them “rate” each other’s appearances: Jeff grants Heather a 7.5, while Heather deems him a “5 on a good day” with a look of disdain.
