Twitch has been very outspoken in its love for Panos Cosmatos' Beyond The Black Rainbow over the past year, the retro futurist picture serving up pure hallucinogenic eye candy.
The good folks at Magnet are gearing up for a limited theatrical release for the film and, as a result, we now have the first proper theatrical trailer to serve up a good taste.

Set in the strange and oppressive emotional landscape of 1983, Beyond The Black Rainbow is a Reagan-era fever dream inspired by hazy childhood memories of midnight movies and Saturday morning cartoons.
Deep within the mysterious Arboria Institute, a disturbed and beautiful girl (Allan) is held captive by a doctor in search of inner peace. Her mind controlled by a sinister technology. Silently, she waits for her next session with deranged therapist Dr. Barry Nyle (Rogers). If she hopes to escape, she must journey through the darkest reaches of The Institute... but Nyle wonʼt easily part with his most gifted and dangerous creation.

The plot (whatever that is) thickens....
The teaser was much more enticing IMO but new footage is always welcome. It sucks that I won't be able to watch this in theaters though.
Now that's what I call a trailer! This just shot to the top of my list of most anticipated films.
