The new science fiction thriller  Rupture (2017) is coming exclusively to DirectTV on March 30, 2017. Those without DirectTV will need to wait almost a month, until April 28, 2017, when it comes to theaters, VOD, and Digital HD. Written by  Brian Nelson (Hard Candy (2005), 30 Days of Night (2007)) and  Steven Shainberg (Secretary (2002)), it stars genre veterans Noomi  Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009),  Prometheus (2012)) and Peter Stormare (known for playing innumerable bad guys for the past several decades)  as well as  Kerry Bishe and Michael Chiklis. Take a look at the trailer below.

Well, that looks like it starts out as an abduction film and then shifts gears into something more science fiction oriented. There are even hints there that this may creep into creature feature territory. The trailer does seem to have more than a few hints as to where this is going.

Here is the official synopsis:

Rupture follows Renee Morgan (Noomi Rapace), a single mom, who is deathly terrified of spiders.   While in route to meet up with a friend, she is violently abducted by a group of strangers.   After enduring intense yet strange questioning and examinations, some about her fear of spiders, Renee soon discovers that she is now the subject of an underground experiment.   Her captors explain to her that she has a genetic abnormality that can potentially allow her to “rupture” and reveal her alien nature.   Renee must find a way to escape before it is too late.
