“One mistake. One secret. One betrayal. Can multiply.” Saban Films has revealed a brand new US trailer for the indie sci-fi thriller titled In Vitro, made in Australia and finally ready for its full release in the US this summer. We originally posted the first trailer for this last year, and here’s one more for its opening soon. On a struggling cattle farm set some years in the future, a woman discovers the unsettling consequences of her husband’s animal breeding technology. This is a sneaky lo-fi sci-fi film. This initially premiered at the 2024 Melbourne & Sydney Film Festivals last year. One night, everything changes when a storm knocks out the power and they soon discover that something unknown has has been released onto the farm. 🐮 But as Layla discovers more about the mysterious presence and Jack’s behaviour becomes increasingly controlling, Layla finally uncovers a secret that brings her face to face with the reality of her relationship with Jack and life on the ranch. Starring Talia Zucker and Ashley Zukerman, with Will Howarth. This trailer still reminds me of A24’s Lamb – is he creating some weird cow-people hybrids? Freaky. Very freaky. Have a look below.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ poster) for Will Howarth & Tom McKeith’s film In Vitro, from YouTube:

Layla and her husband Jack live on a remote cattle farm hundreds of miles from any town. The ongoing climate crisis has had a devastating impact on the agricultural industry and Jack has been working on an alternative process for breeding cattle. However, it’s been a lonely existence on the farm, and their once loving relationship is not what it used to be. While Jack now spends his days tending to the livestock and experimenting with new biotechnology, Layla pines to be with her son. One night it all changes when a blackout occurs across the property and Jack is attacked. When Layla inspects his wounds, Jack assures her that everything is fine and that it was just an accident with the cattle. But something doesn’t add up to Layla and she cannot shake her worry. When Layla starts to search the property and investigate, Jack’s behaviour grows increasingly controlling until Layla discovers a disturbing presence hidden on the farm.
In Vitro is co-directed by indie filmmakers Will Howarth (an actor making his feature directorial debut) & Tom McKeith (director of the film Beast and other short films previously) making their first feature film together. The screenplay is written by Will Howarth, Tom McKeith, and Talia Zucker. It’s produced by Bec Janek, Lisa Shaunessy, Rachael Fung, and Will Howarth. Featuring music composed by Helena Czajka. This initially premiered at the 2024 Sydney Film Festival, and also played at the Melbourne Film Festival. Saban Films will debut In Vitro in select US theaters + on VOD starting June 27th, 2025. Anyone still curious?
