‘Eileen’ trailer teases Anne Hathaway and Thomasin McKenzie in sapphic psychological thriller

The official trailer for psychological thriller Eileen is here, and basically looks like Carol as done by Hitchcock. That is far from a bad thing.

Based on the 2015 novel by Ottessa Moshfegh, Eileen features Thomasin McKenzie as Eileen Dunlop, a young prison secretary in 1960s Boston. Living a dull, routine existence with her alcoholic father (Shea Whigham), there isn’t much in Eileen’s life for her to get excited about — until the glamorous new prison psychologist Dr. Rebecca Saint John (Anne Hathaway) arrives.

Eileen quickly strikes up a friendship with the stylish, sophisticated Rebecca, thrilled to have found a companion. However, things soon take a dark turn, pulling Eileen into sinister secrets that will change her life.

Eileen arrives in theatres Dec. 1.
