Emma Roberts And Awkwafina Vamp It Up In The Gorgeous, Horny Trailer For ‘Paradise Hills’

If you’re a horny adult fairy tale aficionado, you know that horny adult fairy tales only come around every once in a while. Which is all the more reason to celebrate the forthcoming release of Alice Waddington’s absolutely barmy Paradise Hills.

Starring Emma Roberts, Awkwafina, and underrated queen Milla Jovovich, the film is Angela Carter mixed with prada — a sumtpuous visual feast that hides a throbbing undercurrent of darkness.

If your whistle hasn’t been whet yet, then wait ’till you read the plot synopsis. Opening on an isolated island, the film follows Uma (Roberts), a young woman who has been sent to the famed Paradise Hills facility to become a “perfect version” of herself.  There she meets the Duchess (Jovovich), who deploys a series of conversion treatments including but not limited to etiquette classes, and “restricted diets”.

Haunted by the bizarre and alienating place, Uma establishes friendships with her fellow Paradise Hills patients, including Chloe (Danielle McDonald, the Australian-born star of Patti Cake$) and Yu (Awkwafina, on something of a streak at the moment.) But before long, the three friends find themselves in peril, as the glittering beauty around them is revealed to be only the very tip of a distinctly dangerous iceberg.

Basically, imagine Picnic At Hanging Rock crossed with Harry Potter crossed with Francis Ford Coppola’s Dracula crossed with Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette and you’re close. Close but not quite there, cause Paradise Hills is a horny, bizarre delight entirely of its own. Just ask the critics, who raved about the film upon its Sundance premiere.

Watch the sumptuous trailer below, and then cross your fingers and hope that some savvy Australian distributor snaps the thing up so we get to see it on the big screen around the same time as the Americans, who will get it this November 1.
