Blumhouse has once again set the stage for nightmares with its upcoming supernatural thriller, The Woman in the Yard. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra—known for House of Wax, Orphan, and The Shallows—this chilling new film explores the terror of an uninvited guest whose presence grows more ominous by the minute.
The latest trailer, released by Blumhouse, peels back the curtain just enough to fuel speculation while keeping the film’s central mystery intact. It follows a family haunted by an eerie woman dressed entirely in black, her veiled face concealing intentions that seem anything but benign. No matter how hard they try to ignore, confront, or escape her, she draws ever closer—until she’s inside their home.
A Haunting Mystery Unfolds
The trailer wastes no time establishing a sense of dread. Danielle Deadwyler stars as Ramona, a mother who first spots the mysterious woman sitting silently in the yard. When Ramona attempts to question her, she’s met with a cryptic warning:
“We both know your husband’s not coming home”.
The tension escalates as supernatural elements seep in. Flashbacks suggest a tragic past, with glimpses of a car wreck and Ramona’s growing realization that the woman may be tied to something far more personal. When Ramona’s son played by Peyton Jackson brandishes a shotgun in defense, the woman responds chillingly:
“You children are such darlings, ripe enough to eat”.
Between unsettling whispers, blood-stained hands, and an ever-tightening grip on the family’s home, The Woman in the Yard teases a slow-burning horror that preys on psychological torment just as much as supernatural terror. The film also stars Russell Hornsby, Estella Kahiha, and Okwui Okpokwasili as the enigmatic woman.
A Horror Experience You Won’t Want to Miss
Blumhouse has built a reputation for redefining modern horror, and The Woman in the Yard looks poised to continue the trend. With its unsettling visuals, mind-bending suspense, and the proven horror expertise of Collet-Serra, this could be one of the year’s standout genre films.
Will The Woman in the Yard deliver another iconic horror villain? I guess we shall see if it will leave audiences questioning what lurks just beyond their own windows when the film hits theaters on March 28th. For now, watch the full trailer above. Lastly, let us know your theories in the comments!
