The official trailer for the upcoming Netflix film Things Heard And Seen was released on the streaming service’s YouTube channel on Thursday.
The film, which stars Amanda Seyfried, centers around her character as she unleashes the sinister past of her family home.
The supernatural thriller was co-directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini and based on the 2017 novel All Things Cease To Appear by Elizabeth Brundage.
Big reveal: On Thursday, the official trailer for the upcoming horror-thriller Things Heard & Seen was posted to Netflix’s YouTube account
The trailer begins with Seyfried, who portrays Catherine Clare, working on a painting in a church when she is suddenly interrupted by her husband George, played by James Norton.
Her spouse mentions that he has ‘found the perfect house for us,’ before the scene changes to a going-away party, where Seyfried’s character expresses that she is unsure about the move but is willing to try for her husband.
The couple then takes up residence in a large house in upstate New York, and after a realtor notes that the place needs work, George forebodingly mentions that the ‘bones’ of the house are something to behold.
A series of shots are played in which the two are shown to have added a daughter to their family, and the pair are seen embracing in the house’s barn, with Catherine telling her husband, ‘I love it so much!’

Little piece of heaven: Although Catherine appears to be wary of the move, she eventually grows to like her new residence and tells her husband, ‘I love it so much!’
After a tender moment is shown where the couple refers to each other as ‘exceptional,’ Seyfried’s character comes across an old book and finds a page that reads ‘damned,’ which she reacts to with interest.
The next morning, Catherine visits the town’s historical society and asks for information about the ‘older homes in the area,’ intending to find out more about the mystery she has just happened upon.
George is then shown at the local public library, where he shares a look of interest with Willis, portrayed by Natalia Dyer, although he later asks to keep a tense moment between himself and Eddy Lucks, played by Alex Neustaedter, private.
Afterward, Catherine is suddenly awoken by a dark bird crashing into her bedroom window, and on the following day George pays a visit to Floyd DeBeers, the role of which was filled by F. Murray Abraham.

Paranormal overtones: Norton’s character is then seen paying a visit to Floyd DeBeers, played by F. Murray Abraham, who tells him, ‘everything in the natural world has a counterpart in the spiritual realm’
The academic notes, ‘everything in the natural world has a counterpart in the spiritual realm,’ and Seyfried’s character is shown reading a book entitled Heaven And Hell.
DeBeers pays a visit to the Clare residence, where George remarks that ‘my wife is the true believer of the family,’ and speaking with reference to her supernatural interests, ‘you do not want to get her started on all of that stuff.’
The family is then shown experiencing what appears to be a paranormal occurrence, and when their radio does not cease playing static after Norton’s character unplugs it, he smashes it on the ground.

More and more: Seyfried’s character begins to experience further supernatural occurrences in her house, which she struggles to deal with during the trailer’s latter half
After Catherine is locked in her bathroom by an unseen force, she remarks, ‘I’m starting to see things, and I’m scared to tell George about it.’
Her husband is then seen spending time at Willis’ house, and while giving him a sultry look, she says, ‘if you’re coming in, shut the door behind you,’ to which he gives an eager nonverbal response.
Seyfried’s character speaks to what she believes is a ghost and asks it what it wants before Eddy is shown angrily chopping a log in half, after which a bloody axe is seen lying on a wooden floor.

While looking at a gold ring in her kitchen, Catherine is pushed back by what appears to be a hazy cloud, and she watches it slowly pass by her.
A rapid-fire montage of scenes is then shown, during which she screams in a snow-dusted field, kisses Eddy passionately, and is scared when George approaches her from behind.
The trailer’s final scene shows Norton’s character asking Catherine if anything is troubling her, to which she responds by looking straight at the camera and covering her mouth while slowly stepping backward.
Things Heard & Seen is currently set to be released on Netflix on April 29th.
