But he’s got bigger problems than a “Best of Hawaii & Ireland” TV dinner consisting of frozen seaweed, peas, mangos, and probably mashed potatoes and pharmaceuticals. The doctor (Nathan Lane) holds him hostage until he makes his great escape — an odyssey through a surrealist forest that promises his “adventures will continue for years and years.” [Beau Is Afraid](https://www.vulture.com/2023/01/ari-aster-beau-is-afraid-joaquin-phoenix-release-date-trailer.html), the new thriller from Hereditary and Midsommer director [Ari Aster](https://www.vulture.com/2019/07/ari-aster-midsommar-interview.html), arrives in theaters April 21.

In the new trailer for Hereditary director Ari Aster's new A24 horror movie, Joaquin Phoenix plays Beau who's trapped in horror hell trying to see his mom.

Once again released by A24, Beau Is Afraid centers on Beau (Joaquin Phoenix), a paranoid man in the midst of traveling to see his mother. Of course those journeys rarely have the same bizzaro animated vision of Ari Aster ( [Midsommar](https://www.polygon.com/2019/7/2/20679113/midsommar-review-ari-aster-florence-pugh), [Hereditary](https://www.polygon.com/2018/6/8/17439056/hereditary-review-new-horror-movie)), whose new film Beau Is Afraid is centered entirely on it.
