What We Do in the Shadows director Taika Waititi is currently getting ready to take on his biggest and most high profile project so far, the third installment in Marvel’s Thor franchise, titled Thor: Ragnarok.

But before the New Zealand director jumped into that task, he made another one of the smaller indie films he’s best known for titled Hunt for the Wilderpeople. A new teaser trailer for the movie has been released, and you can check it out below.

In Housebound, the feature film debut from New Zealand’s Gerard Johnstone (The Jaquie Brown Diaries), Kylie Bucknell (Morgana O’Reilly) is court-ordered to return to her childhood home after being placed under house arrest.

Her punishment is made worse by the fact she’s cooped up with her mother Miriam (Rima Te Wiata) – a well-meaning chatterbox who’s convinced the house is haunted by a ghostly figure in tattered white cloth.

Initially, Kylie dismisses Miriam’s superstitions as nothing more than a distraction from an unfulfilled life of boiled vegetables and small-town gossip. But when she starts to hear whispers and strange bumps in the night, Kylie wonders if she has inherited her mother’s overactive imagination, or if the house is actually possessed by some kind of hostile spirit.
