The Woman sure is in that Yard in new Blumhouse trailer

The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window continues to prove one of the most accurate parody titles in recent history. In The Woman In The Yard trailer, there is indeed a woman in the yard. Unlike those psychological thrillers where the girl on the train is an unstable missing person, this is a Blumhouse horror film, so the woman that’s in the yard is very creepy and somewhat supernatural. But she is also very much a literal woman in the yard. 

Danielle Deadwyler (Till) plays Ramona, “a woman crippled by grief after she survives a car accident that takes her husband.” Okwui Okpokwasili (The Exorcist: Believer) plays the woman in the yard, who has a sort of La Llorona thing going on. Ramona assumes the shrouded visitor “is lost or demented, but as the woman creeps nearer and nearer to the house, it becomes clear she is no ordinary figure and her intentions are anything but peaceful,” reads the synopsis. “Now Ramona must rally to protect herself and her children from the grasp of the woman who simply won’t leave them alone.”

In The Woman In The Yard trailer, the woman in the yard insists that she is visiting the family home because she was called—creepily telling them that “today’s the day.” The trailer is also quick to give up her weird supernatural power, which is manipulating shadows inside the house while sitting out in the yard. Which, sure, if you’re a woman in the yard of ambiguous folkloric origin you might as well have some sort of gimmick. At a certain point, she goes from being the woman in the yard to the uninvited woman inside their damn house, but that would make for a more cumbersome title. “Where did she come from? What does she want? When will she leave?” The press release wonders. “Only The Woman in the Yard knows.” The new movie, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Black Adam), premieres in theaters March 28.
