You meets Gone Girl meets The Girl on Train meets The Woman in the Window meets Rear Window meets…Scary Movie? I’m in.
Kristen Bell’s new Netflix series The Woman in a House Across the Street from the Girl in a Window, a satire of the popular “troubled woman gets caught up in a suburban murder” genre, just dropped its first trailer, and it looks like a cross between all our favorite beach reads. Bell plays Anna, a wine-guzzling, pill-popping, sweater-wearing suburbanite who witnesses a murder but can’t convince anyone to believe her.
The dialogue in the trailer is all basically straightforward murder mystery stuff, but there are self-aware comedic touches throughout, from the ridiculous cork collection on Anna’s kitchen island to the goofy tagline: “Every victim has a story…every murder has a witness…every neighbor has a window…but every story has a victim.” And, obviously, the title. Produced by Will Ferrell, this may be the parody that finally puts the, uh, final nail in this genre’s coffin. That is…until a body washes ashore!
