The latest trailer for Brenda Blethyn's "shocking" drama Dragonfly is here, teasing what fans can expect.
Also starring Andrea Riseborough and Jason Watkins, Dragonfly follows Coleen (Riseborough), who becomes disgusted by the state of care her elderly neighbour Elsie (Blethyn) receives, so she offers to take over for free.
However, a synopsis teases: "But Colleen’s intentions may not be exactly as they seem. As suspicions grow, a shocking act triggers a violent chain reaction that threatens to irreparably alter the lives of both women."
Ahead of its release in UK and Irish cinemas on 7 November, the trailer for Dragonfly has been released, beginning with Elsie expressing that caring for someone is "a lot of hard work" after Colleen offers her services.
Colleen insists that it's what neighbours are "supposed to do", but it doesn't take long for the trailer to take a dark turn as Elsie stands in her home, seemingly terrified of the phone ringing, and Colleen has her motives questioned by Elsie's son (Watkins).

"I've been hurting all my life, Elsie, to be honest," Colleen says, as we cut to a scene of her sinisterly staring at Elsie through a glass pane in her front door.
After the film premiered at Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, Dragonfly sits at a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In Digital Spy's review, we described the film as "a powerful and compelling drama that explores those that society shuns, building to an ending you won't forget".
The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Is this tonal swerve a little gimmicky? Probably, and the film will not be to everyone’s taste. But it is a skillfully rendered exercise in terror."
ScreenAnarchy said: "While cinema in general still tends to romanticize loneliness, Dragonfly shows it for what it is: a routine series of everyday, excruciating experiences that always build up to something that tends to be horrific, more often than not."
The Guardian lauded it as "a stark, fierce, wonderfully acted film", while Culture Mix added: "Dragonfly isn't just a 'slow burn' psychological drama. This well-acted movie about two lonely people and home caregiving takes an extreme turn in the last 20 minutes to a shocking ending that's sure to be divisive."
Dragonfly is released in UK and Irish cinemas on 7 November.
