Willem Dafoe returns to the suspenseful storyline, as Hulu reveals a teaser trailer for the new movie titled “The Man Under My Stairs“. The esteemed actor is depicted forcibly entering what used to be a simple, tranquil home.

The forthcoming psychological thriller, titled “The Man in My Basement,” is a screen adaptation of Walter Mosley’s critically praised novel, which was published in 2004. This book is often cited as one of the author’s finest works. Nadia Latif directs this movie and collaborates with Mosley himself on the scriptwriting.

The unsettling events unfold after a knock at the door. The intriguing movie teaser starts with Charles Blakey (played by Corey Hawkins) opening the door for an unknown visitor, who is later disclosed to be Dafoe’s enigmatic character. He expresses interest in renting Blakey’s basement for $1,000 a day, amounting to 65 days, which Blakey promptly – although seemingly hesitant – accepts. Although the proposition appears intriguing, he remains oblivious to the peril that has now entered his home.
