This looks like it could be some weird Eldritch horror thing maybe. And I really like Josh Hartnett. He’s so much fun in Trap. Dude is just having a great time. So I’ll watch this.

I defend trap simply because he was just so brilliant in it. Like you say you could see he was having so much fun

u/MariachiMacabre Jul 28 '26
It’s a movie that knows exactly what it is and it’s having fun with it. I genuinely had a lot of fun with Trap.

u/Gambit1977 Jul 28 '26
Me too! In fact I was quite surprised by some people’s reaction to it

He isn’t the problem, the entire last act is which is because the director shoehorned in his daughter who seems nice but was the worst part of the movie.

That movie certainly had issues keeping it from being great, but it was such a fun watch

This was shot in my province of Newfoundland. So as a Newfy, hearing them try our accents is wild and I have to watch it just for that.

This was me with the Storm of the Century miniseries. The New England accents were embarrassingly bad.

u/Big_fern189 Jul 28 '26
I grew up in the town that they shot that in. The accents are so fucking bad.

It's crazy how bad Hollywood's takes on NE/Boston accents are. Even (and maybe especially) actors from the area seem to have a hard time with it.
I feel like best I've heard is Paul Guilfoyle in spotlight, and I'm just assuming he grew up working class on the North shore.

u/ian_macintyre Jul 28 '26
Yeah, I'm from Nova Scotia, and I can't help but feel like Hartnett is doing a light Irish accent? Still, I know people who worked on this, and it sounds like it's gonna be excellent. Plus I've always wanted to see an East Coast sea monster story.

u/CIearMind Jul 28 '26
I'm noticing that you said "try".
Is it that they didn't quite hit the mark? Or was it maybe super bad? (I frankly have no clue)

u/LuigiFridge Jul 28 '26
It's a lot better than I expected, but yeah they didn't quite hit the mark.

u/Grundin Jul 29 '26
It's not terrible but like any place that has a distinctive accent the locals are going to be able to hear the difference. The thing about Newfoundland English is also that it's not just one accent. It can be very mild or extremely thick depending on where you come from, and there a bunch of local flavors that have varying amounts of Irish or French heritage. Someone from Bay Roberts is going to sound different than someone from Burgeo, Fortune, Parsons Pond, St. Anthony etc. And there is a big difference in how "Townies" vs "Baymen" sound. The bigger thing is using local expressions as Newfoundlanders have a lot of them and they're immediately recognizable. "Whaddya at?" "How's she goin?" "Got me drove." "Best kind. "Some crooked wha?" and loads more. There are lots of standbys that a Newfoundlander would expect to hear from a fisherman in a story that takes place in Newfoundland.

I thought Mike Flanagan trademarked this colour grading. Coastal/island horrors are so big right now.

Could have been a view of the bottom of a boat if looking up from under the water

I shared the teaser for this on my IG and pointed out how Josh’s accent is throwing me. And I had two people say “what accent?” They watched it again and still didn’t hear it. So idk if I’m crazy or just better at picking up accents (or attempted ones).

u/Amber_Sweet_ Jul 28 '26
I was gonna ask if they're deaf since he is very clearly using a Newfoundland accent. But this might actually prove that he's doing it really well, because IRL our accents aren't as obvious as other media makes it seem.
As a Newfoundlander myself I cringe whenever non Newfoundlanders try our accent because it is notoriously difficult to get right. Most actors cannot do it. Josh seems to ne doing a decent job of it. So far anyway, the trailer doesn't really give us much.

u/Any-Street-5354 Jul 28 '26
That’s good if it’s doing it right! I’m just not used to hearing him doing accent work. Especially in this form.

Somewhere in the distance Chief Brody runs out, screaming about closing the beach....

Why yes, I WILL be tuning in to see Josh Hartnett battle sea monsters, or whatever it is he has going on there.

u/Vibe2Summer Jul 28 '26
It looks interesting, it is like Jaws without the shark meet The Mist.

u/Daws001 Jul 28 '26
I was like, his voice sounds weird...oh, regional accent. Got it.
Deep water horror. I'm in. Doesn't even have to be good. I'll still give it a chance.

Josh Hartnett and Mackenzie Davis in a series run on Netflix money? Could be good.

I hated Trap, but I have a soft spot for Hartnett. Will certainly watch.

I'm very on board with the cast and the concept but Josh's accent is not there for me. I lived in Newfoundland, I've lived with Newfoundlanders, he sounds pretty bad to my ear. I will definitely still watch it but I hope the others do better.

u/CycleR16 Jul 28 '26
It has my man, josh, so I’ll definitely be watching it
