The Woman in Cabin 10, the British psychological thriller starring Keira Knightley and David Morrissey, has unveiled its tense first trailer.
The Netflix film, based on Ruth Ware's novel of the same name, sees Knightley portray Laura "Lo" Blacklock, a journalist who boards a luxury ship to report on its maiden voyage.
As she is surrounded by several wealthy guests, Lo becomes convinced that somebody was thrown overboard during the night, though all the guests and crew maintain that everybody is accounted for.
Ahead of its release in October, Netflix has unveiled a captivating trailer which depicts the increasingly dangerous cat-and-mouse game, with Lo soon believing that she is being targeted in order to prevent a sinister secret from getting out.
The film, which is directed by Simon Stone, boasts a stacked cast, with Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kaya Scodelario, David Ajala, Art Malik and Daniel Ings all featuring in supporting roles.

Stone, whose other directing credits include The Daughter and The Dig, spoke with Tudum about his upcoming thriller, with the filmmaker explaining that the action would depict Lo's "struggle against the conspiracy".
"You never question whether or not she saw what she saw. You agree completely with her. It’s her struggle against the conspiracy," said the director, who praised Knightley for leading the "amazing" ensemble in an "extraordinary way".
The director also shared that he was influenced by the works of Alfred Hitchcock as well as 1970s paranoid thrillers, explaining: "Finding that tradition, but with a different gender and a different energy, has been really exciting."

Ware's original novel, which was published in 2016, received positive reviews from readers, with The Couple Next Door author Shari Lapena describing the book as a "twisty puzzle" (via Amazon).
"A tense, moody drama set on a press trip that goes horribly wrong... a brilliantly claustrophobic setting," noted The Sunday Times, while Good Housekeeping echoed this sentiment as they dubbed the novel "terrifically tense".
The Woman in Cabin 10 is released on Netflix on 10 October.
