Pendulum Full Trailer Makes Surrender Look Terrifying

The new Pendulum trailer takes Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Phoebe Dynevor to a remote New Mexico retreat where the promise of healing begins to look like something far more dangerous. Distributor Vertical released the full trailer on October 29, offering a longer look at Mark Heyman’s psychological horror film ahead of its January 1, 2027 theatrical release.

Gordon-Levitt plays Patrick, who travels with his wife Abigail (Dynevor) after a shared tragedy. Abigail becomes increasingly drawn to the retreat’s charismatic leader, played by Jacki Weaver, while Patrick questions what is really happening around them. The cast also includes Norman Reedus, Jena Malone and Anna Deavere Smith.

What the Pendulum Full trailer reveals

The full preview leans further into the group’s strange rituals and Patrick’s growing distrust without settling whether the danger is supernatural or rooted in his own unraveling perspective. Heyman, who co-wrote Black Swan, makes his feature directing debut from his own screenplay, with Darren Aronofsky among the producers.

TFR previously covered the film’s first Pendulum teaser in August. This new trailer provides a substantially fuller look at the central relationship and the retreat’s increasingly disturbing atmosphere.
