Piercing is a 2019 American horror comedy film written and directed by Nicolas Pesce based on the novel of the same name by Ryū Murakami . It stars Christopher Abbott , Mia Wasikowska , and Laia Costa .
"There will definitely be a lot of blood." Universal has released a freaky red band movie for the indie horror thriller Piercing , the second feature from up-and-coming filmmaker Nicolas Pesce (his first film was The Eyes of My Mother ). The film is currently playing in select theaters for those interested. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and went on to play at tons of festivals all over the world this year. Piercing is an intimate psychological thriller about a man who goes to a hotel with the intention of killing a prostitute, but gets into more trouble than he can handle with this particular girl. Mia Wasikowska and
Christopher Abbott star, with a small cast featuring Laia Costa ,
Olivia Bond, Maria Dizzia , and Wendell Pierce . I'm not into this film much, but this is a nicely wicked trailer that should grab the attention of a few people.
