The feature directorial debut of Black Swan screenwriter Mark Heyman, Pendulum, has debuted a teaser trailer.

In Pendulum, married couple Patrick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Abigail (Phoebe Dynevor) journey to a new-age retreat in New Mexico, drawn by the possibility of healing after a traumatic event. Patrick is willing to do anything to help his wife, but becomes distrustful of the retreat’s enigmatic leader (Jacki Weaver) even as Abigail falls under her spell.

As paranoia builds, the couple must determine if the group’s spiritual practices offer genuine healing – or mask a terrifying truth that threatens to consume them both.

Darren Aronofsky produces through his label Protozoa Pictures.

“This movie is deeply personal and inspired by my family lore,” writer and director Mark Heyman said in a statement. “Shooting it in New Mexico, where I grew up and the real events took place, elevated every scene and made it all the more surreal. Add to that a cast firing on all cylinders, and you have a horror movie I’m immensely proud of and excited to unleash on audiences come the new year. What better way to ring in 2027 than with a freaky head trip?”

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception), Phoebe Dynevor (“Bridgerton”), Jacki Weaver (Bird Box), and Norman Reedus (“The Walking Dead”) star in the upcoming horror film

Pendulum will release in theaters from Vertical Entertainment on January 1, 2027.
