The Devil's Hour on Prime Video has a frightening tone
On September 22, 2022, Amazon Prime Video dropped the official trailer for the show, which offers a glimpse of protagonist Lucy's nightmarish world. In the first scene, Lucy meets with a prisoner who seems intimidating and frightening. The trailer also briefly depicts a murder investigation as the police desperately look to nab a serial killer.
Although not many pivotal details are revealed, the trailer establishes the crux of the storyline. Overall, it has a distinctly frightening tone that fans of psychological thrillers would undoubtedly love. Here's a brief description of the show, as per Amazon Studios' Press:
''The series follows the story of Lucy, played by Jessica Raine, who is woken every night by terrifying visions at exactly 3.33am: the devil’s hour. Her eight-year-old son is withdrawn and emotionless. Her mother speaks to empty chairs. Her house is haunted by the echoes of a life that isn't her own.''
The description further reads:
''When Lucy's name is inexplicably connected to a string of brutal murders in the area, the answers that have evaded her all these years will finally come into focus. Peter Capaldi plays a reclusive nomad, driven by a murderous obsession. He becomes the prime target of a police manhunt led by compassionate detective Ravi Dhillon, played by Nikesh Patel.''
Based on the trailer and synopsis, viewers can look forward to an atmospheric, character-driven thriller drama that explores some of the most disturbing facets of the human mind. Fans of movies like Goodnight Mommy and Vivarium or shows like True Detective and Manhunter should certainly check this one out.
The Devil's Hour includes six episodes, expected to drop on Prime Video on October 28, 2022.
