The Scary of Sixty-First | Official Trailer | Utopia

Winner of Best First Feature Award at 2021 Berlin International Film Festival. The film follows two women who move into a New York apartment once owned by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“An audacious take on genre cinema that confronts contemporary issues such as global power structures, sexual abuse, conspiracy theories and the dark corners of the internet in a wildly twisted, witty and subversive manner. Perhaps in recognition that polite decorum may no longer be an effective tactic in sparking discourse around these burning issues.” - Berlinale Jury

"There’s alchemy at work in Dasha Nekrasova’s debut film “The Scary of Sixty-First,” the kind that can turn what’s old into what’s new. Equal parts ’70s-style paranoia thriller, Polanski-infused apartment horror, “Eyes Wide Shut” homage, and empathetic critical commentary on the conspiracy theories craze, this hallucinatory pastiche is even more than the sum of its cinematically riveting parts. It feels like one of the few genuine attempts at understanding this dislocating moment and the many people who have lost themselves within it." - Indiewire (Critic's Pick)

Everyone in this trailer sounds like they’re reading a book report.

Date Adam Friedland once and this is what you get

[EsotericSyncretism]

Man when the trailer can't even hide the bad acting you know it's going to be horrible

[grontelp]

"No you just don't get it, the movie is supposed to be compelling because we're self aware about pretending to be ironically bad film makers." 🙄

Love that Anna’s cameo is featured in the trailer. Excited to watch.

[joeporter]

is there a more contemporary way of saying 'straight to video'?

[eddiemurphy]

Some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen girl

[rastabattiboy]

that woman with FAS cannot act. god bless her heart tho

[TerryR]

I love that they actually shot this (the exterior anyway) at Epstein's castle.

[UJR]

This movie is not about horror... it's about white girls.

[lawrencelevine]

All the thrills of someone yelling on the bus with all the subtleties of a meme, who this movie is for I don't know. At an hour and twenty minutes, it shouldn't be.

Saw it yesterday at Gallery of Morden Arts in Brisbane. I did not understand it completely, but enjoyed the whole movie. It felt like a satire comedy instead of scary / horror. But overall this was a kind of movie I have never seen before. All the four main character were awesome. I loved the Boyfriend Guy in the movie. Hope Someone makes movie Explainer video to actually explain what the director wanted to project...

This is what you get when you adapt a Mullen manifesto to screen

[apolloforabetterfuture]

Tone? Tone? What is the tone? Dasha's acting seems comical in this trailer which might work in the movie but also could make the movie serious cringe. Like "Epstein red pilled a lot of people" I mean true but it's such a wince worthy line, if they know that and are playing into it the movie might work but if not this could be very very bad.

iPhone student movie projects should only be shown in high school cafeterias.

[grunglam]

The film being set during Christmas feels perfect.

[joshg.]

refreshing film because dasha does not censor herself

[AR-iily]

I bet you the movie title is way cooler and scarier than the movie itself.

[Technologic]

This is giving me "4chan edgelord teenager" vibes. In a bad way.

[drumgold]

This is what can happen when accessing film making equipment is too easy. Comfry's good. And Anna.
