After being shut up in a shed with Brie Larson in last year’s Room, Jacob Tremblay will now play a boy who comes to live with a hermit-like child psychologist in Shut In. It’s the 9-year-old actor’s second horror release of the fall (after September’s sterling Before I Wake), and a film whose debut trailer suggests that this time around, he may be more villain than victim. Watch it above.

In the upcoming thriller, Tremblay plays a young boy who, during a terrible New England snowstorm, comes to stay with Naomi Watts’ shrink. Her non-work life consists of caring for her own teenage son (Stranger Things’ Charlie Heaton), who’s in an irreversible coma thanks to a car accident that killed his father. When Tremblay’s visitor suddenly goes missing and is presumed dead, Watts’ grief mounts, though things get even hairier when he seems to return — as a vengeful ghost? — to haunt her, much to everyone else’s skepticism.

Having starred in both American installments of The Ring franchise, Watts appears to be in her element navigating this spooky scenario, and Tremblay seems to be tapping into his inner demon-child. Co-starring Oliver Platt and David Cubitt, Shut In hits theaters on Nov. 11.
