Nerdist Premieres Trailer For Its Feature Film ‘The Hive’

Nerdist had a big presence at Comic-Con International, and it made sure to show off its shiny new feature film acquisition. During the yearly fan culture convention, Chris Hardwick’s network premiere the trailer for The Hive, a horror thriller set at a summer camp.

The Hive, which was first screened in 2014 at Austin’s Fantastic Fest. It utilizes the horror genre’s well-worn amnesia trope by focusing on a counselor who wakes up in a cabin and must stop a scourge that threatens the children at his camp. The trailer shows off a balanced blend of mystery, jump scares, and unexplained black goo, which seems to coat most of the characters who appear in the video.
