Netflix’s upcoming psychological thriller film called Spiderhead is all set to debut next week. The film stars Chris Hemsworth in the lead along with Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett. The first trailer for this new Joseph Kosinski film debuted last month and here it is just a week away. Fans of Kosinksi and Hemsworth are really disappointed in Netflix as they did little to no marketing for the film. As a result, not many people know of its existence even though it’s just a few days away. So, if you are one of those people, first read more about the film in this next segment or read our previous article.
Everything You Need To Know About Spiderhead
Spiderhead is science fiction directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and is all set to debut on 17th June, 2022 exclusively on Netflix. The film was earlier titled “Escape From Spiderhead” which was later changed to just Spiderhead. It stars Chris Hemsworth as Steve Abnesti, a brilliant visionary who experiments on his subjects with mind-altering drugs. Two inmates, Miles Teller’s Jeff and Jurnee Smollett’s Rachael, form a connection while grappling with their pasts in the state-of-the-art penitentiary run by Abnesti.
Hemsworth’s character appears to conduct certain psychological experiments on the inmates while calling them necessary and something that will change the shape of the world. Also, towards the end of the trailer, we could clearly see inamtes trying to escape the facility leading to rather bloody consequences. Maybe that’s why the film was originally titled Escape from Spiderhead.
Spiderhead Reviews Are Out!
The film held its world premiere yesterday and once the embargo lifted, the reviews started pouring in. Hear me and rejoice, as the reviews of Netflix’s Spiderhead are overly positive praising the direction by Kosinski and powerful performances by Hemsworth and Teller. Nearly all critics pointed out how this is the best Chris Hemsworth performance they have ever seen and praised the actor’s charming portrayal of Abnesti. Here, have a look at the first reviews for the movie.
#Spiderhead isn’t perfect but it’s always fascinating, asking big questions about clinical trials, drug dependency, and manufacturing the chemicals that make us human. The cast delivers, particularly Hemsworth who whips up a devilishly charming performance as Abnesti (cont’d) pic.twitter.com/PfnwgXB8D7

#Spiderhead is Joseph Kosinski's second home run of the year, an atmospheric and unsettlingly claustrophobic thriller that is much funnier/weirder than the marketing suggests, led by a trio of outstanding performances (Chris Hemsworth is unbelievable) and a yacht rock soundtrack. pic.twitter.com/kXLNeYxMnE

SPIDERHEAD, the new @Netflix film from TOP GUN: MAVERICK director Joseph Kosinski, is wonderful, and features maybe the best Chris Hemsworth performance I've seen. When I interviewed Kosinski recently, we talked about both films. https://t.co/KTAUMrHRAC

Joseph Kosinski’s #Spiderhead does clever stuff w/ its sharp, lean premise & has good, dark fun exploring blossoming, character-driven twists. Miles Teller & Chris Hemsworth deliver strong work. Sleek production & costume design get top marks. Killer score & Yacht Rock soundtrack pic.twitter.com/3BE1Jzl361

#Spiderhead cleverly examines the complexities & dangers of love, loss, & regret. Hemsworth is a blast to watch while Jurnee and Miles performances provide an emotional depth to their characters that forces the audience to delve deeper into the darkest secrets of their souls. pic.twitter.com/slrHJzs4KI

Saw #Spiderhead theatrically a few days ago. A cool sci-fi thriller that almost plays out like a super slick, feature version of Black Mirror with an A-list cast. I mean that in a good way. Really enjoyed it.
