Get A Closer Look At "THE WOMAN IN THE YARD" (2025) Coming This Month (TRAILER)

Sometimes horror movies imitate life because real-life can be downright terrifying, and nothing sums up that kind of pedestrian terror than “stranger danger.” For many folks the two words conjure up memories of elementary school and nervous parents telling you to not trust anyone you don’t know, and certainly stay away from people whose intentions are unclear. As a child, it’s easy advice to take as you operate under a potent combination of ignorance, fear, and curiosity, but as an adult, we are often required to introduce ourselves to strangers at least some of the time. But what happens when someone you don’t know shows up outside your house and won’t leave, that’s the scary thing about Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s “The Woman in the Yard.”

The film is set to release later this month on March 28, 2025, in theaters nationwide and we have a second trailer that sheds more light on just who and even what the woman in the yard is there for. The film was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and stars BAFTA and SAG nominee Danielle Deadwyler. Check out the new trailer below along with some more details about the film, and let us know if you’ll be checking on the woman in the yard on the 28th!

From The Press Release

A lone, spectral woman shrouded entirely in black appears on a family’s front lawn without explanation and warns them “today’s the day.” Where did she come from? What does she want? When will she leave? Only The Woman in the Yard knows.

From Blumhouse, the most successful global brand in horror, comes a new original chiller starring BAFTA and SAG nominee Danielle Deadwyler (Till, The Harder They Fall, The Piano Lesson) as Ramona, a woman crippled by grief after she survives a car accident that takes her husband (Russell Hornsby; BMF, Fences). 

Seriously injured, Ramona now must care for their 14-year-old son (Peyton Jackson; Respect, American Refugee) and 6-year-old-daughter (Estella Kahiha; Will Trent, BMF), alone in her rural farmhouse. 

Then one day the woman takes form in their yard.

Ramona assumes the woman (Okwui Okpokwasili; The Exorcist: Believer, Julie Taymor’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) is lost or demented, but as the woman creeps nearer and nearer to the house, it becomes clear she is no ordinary figure and her intentions are anything but peaceful. Now Ramona must rally to protect herself and her children from the grasp of the woman who simply won’t leave them alone.

The Woman in the Yard is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Black Adam, Jungle Cruise), who recently directed Deadwyler in the upcoming action thriller Carry On. The film is written by first-time feature screenwriter Sam Stefanak. 

The film is produced by Jason Blum, producer of The Invisible Man and The Black Phone, along with acclaimed Emmy nominated producer Stephanie Allain p.g.a. (The Exorcist: Believer, Hustle & Flow), and is executive produced by star Danielle Deadwyler, Jaume Collet-Serra, James Moran and Gabrielle Ebron.
