Assassination Nation follows a group of high school girls – Odessa Young, Suki Waterhouse, Hari Nef, and Abra – navigating their wild town after an anonymous hacker starts spreading private info about the town’s citizens which sparks mass riots. Anika Noni Rose, Maude Apatow, IT’s Bill Skarsgard, and Bella Thorne also appear. Across the red, white, and blue trailer, we’re given some major visual trigger warnings, plastered across similar violent, disturbing scenes. “Bullying,” “blood,” “abuse,” “classism,” “death,” “drinking,” “drug use,” “sexual content,” “toxic masculinity,” “homophobia,” “transphobia,” “guns,” “nationalism,” “racism,” “kidnapping,” “murder,” “fragile male ego,” “sexism,” “frogs,” are just some. The film, written and directed by Sam Levinson, will crash land into cinemas September 21. Escape the algorithm!
