Based on Paula Hawkins’ worldwide bestselling novel, The Girl on the Train has been adapted for the big screen, and we are on the edge of our seats in anticipation for this film.
The Girl on the Train is a dark, romantic thriller circling around Rachel (Emily Blunt), the self-destructive 30-something who becomes embroiled in a crime mystery when she merely spots something on her morning commute to work…
Rachel gets the same train each day. She passes the same home each day. She has gotten to know the couple who live there too (well, she likes to think she does), just by watching them through the glass as she passes by.
Justin Theorux stars as Rachel’s ex-husband Tom, we quickly learn that Rachel is struggling through a painful divorce, which she deals with by the only way she can; through alcoholism. After the disappearance of a young woman Megan Hipwell (Haley Bennett), Rachel begins to piece together a tangled web, and she then finds herself in the centre of the case, as a suspect battling to clear her name. The problem is: no one trusts the words of a drunkard who regularly blacks out. How will she clear her name? What happened to the woman who lives in ‘that’ house?
Expect goosebumps from this disturbing and thrilling story. Take a look at the official trailer here:
The Girl on the Train hits the cinemas on 7th October 2016.
