Emma Roberts buys a house that might be haunted in the new Abandoned trailer. The upcoming horror film was penned by Erik Patterson and Jessica Scott and focuses on a young couple who move into a new home with a haunted past. Starring Roberts as Sara, a young mother struggling with postpartum depression who feels the dark history of the house threaten to tip her into a dangerous psychosis. John Gallagher Jr. stars alongside Roberts as her on-screen husband Alex, joined by Kate Arrington as their realtor Cindy and DCEU star Michael Shannon as their suspicious neighbor.

Now, the first Abandoned movie trailer suggests the house’s past isn’t a secret to everyone. Released by Vertical Entertainment US, the video opens as Sara and Alex arrive at the seemingly idyllic property where the realtor reluctantly reveals the tragedy that occurred there. Undeterred, the couple is quick to move into their new home and discover a mysterious locked door leading to an abandoned children’s bedroom. Cue a creepy neighbor and the revelation that Sara may not be taking her medication, and the increasingly supernatural events in the house take an even more sinister turn. Check out the trailer below:


Making her on-screen debut in the 2001 crime film Blow, Roberts has since gone on to feature in major titles including We’re the Millers, Adult World and The Hunt. She is also no stranger to horror movies and TV, enjoying prominent roles in slashers and satirical horrors like Scream 4, American Horror Story and Scream Queens, though her more recent work includes rom-coms like Holidate and the upcoming feature About Fate. Directed by Spencer Squire, Abandoned will see Roberts make an R-rated return to horror scene on June 17.
