French Director Gaspar Noé Crafts a New Horror Tale on the Dance Floor with Climax: First Trailer

French extreme director Gaspar Noe has a new film, titled Climax. From the mind that brought audiences: I Stand Alone (1998), Irreversible (2002), Enter the Void (2009) and others, Noe's latest is a hallucinatory trip, through a brutal horror film. Set in 1996, a dance takes place out in the woods. An old boarding school sets the stage for a night of drinking. But, someone has spiked the Sangria and the results are terrifying. Climax stars: Sofia Boutella (The Mummy, 2017), Giselle Palmer (Girls with Guns), Romain Guillermic and many more. The film's first, disturbing trailer is available here.

The trailer is about a minute long. It shows a group of dancers at a party. A few titles state: "some dancers," "some girls," "a sangria," "a flag," "a forest," "a mirror" and several others. Then, a knife fight breaks out. Someone is dying in the snow and unbelievably, someone gets set on fire. The clip is truly a spectacle.

Climax was recently at the Cannes Film Festival. Here, A24 has picked up the film for U.S. distribution. A release date is coming shortly. Fans of the surreal are encouraged to take a closer look at Noe's latest creation.

Release Date: TBA.

Director/writer: Gaspar Noé.

Stars: Sofia Boutella, Romain Guillermic, Souheila Yacoub and Giselle Palmer.

*sometimes referred to as a dance horror film?

This is probably one of the most disturbing and controversial of Noe's filmography (Irreversible, DVD):
