‘Under Your Feet’ Unveils New International Artwork Ahead of Cannes and LALIFF Screenings

One of the more visually intriguing international genre titles heading into Cannes season just revealed a brand-new international poster as Under Your Feet continues building momentum across the global festival circuit.

Ahead of its Cannes market screening and North American Premiere Gala at the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre, international sales company FilmSharks officially unveiled the film’s new international artwork while the movie simultaneously launched its theatrical rollout today across Spain through distributor Vercine.

Directed by cult filmmaker Cristian Bernard, known for 76 89 03 and Echoes of a Crime, the fantasy thriller stars Maribel Verdú, Sofía Otero, Urko Olazabal, and Zorion Eguileor.

And honestly, the teaser already gives off the exact type of atmospheric apartment horror energy genre fans tend to gravitate toward.

The story follows Isabel, played by Verdú, who moves with her children into a prestigious apartment building offering unusually affordable rent through a mysterious approval process. Once the family settles in, three elderly residents living below them begin slowly disrupting and manipulating their lives in increasingly disturbing ways.

From the footage released so far, Under Your Feet appears heavily rooted in slow-building supernatural dread, paranoia, and emotionally destabilizing family horror. The apartment setting immediately evokes the kind of claustrophobic unease associated with classic urban psychological horror while also incorporating child-centered mystery elements that give the film a broader fantasy-adventure atmosphere underneath its darker themes.

That tonal balance may end up being the project’s biggest strength.

Visually, the teaser leans into shadow-heavy hallways, looming architecture, and emotionally fractured domestic tension, creating a style that feels somewhere between supernatural thriller and coming-of-age mystery. The inclusion of children within the narrative also gives the project a more emotionally vulnerable perspective that separates it from more straightforward occult horror films.

Producer Guido Rud described the film as aiming for audiences drawn toward projects in the vein of The Goonies, Super 8, and Stranger Things, while critics have already compared portions of the film’s style to “Roman Polanski directing an Amblin production.”

That comparison honestly makes sense based on the footage.

The movie appears to merge childhood curiosity and emotional family drama with oppressive psychological horror aesthetics, particularly through the apartment building environment itself, which feels almost alive with hidden menace.

The project was produced by Carlos Juarez of Basque Films alongside Rud for FilmSharks, with participation from Netflix Spain and RTVE.

The film previously held its world premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and recently earned Maribel Verdú the Best Actress award at the Fantasporto.

Cinematography was handled by Juan Sebastián Vásquez, whose previous work on Upon Entry helped establish a grounded visual realism that appears to carry over into this project’s more unsettling supernatural atmosphere.

With additional international territory deals expected around Cannes, Under Your Feet is quickly positioning itself as one of the more notable international supernatural thrillers currently emerging from the European festival scene.

And based on the teaser alone, there’s definitely something deeply wrong inside that building.
