A year on, Winnie is still haunted by those events. Making a wish under the mesmerising blanket of the Northern Lights, she's then pushed into a parallel universe where she was never born and the serial killer is on the loose.

The film's synopsis reads: "A year after saving her town from a psychotic killer on Christmas Eve, Winnie Carruthers' life is less than wonderful — but when she wishes she'd never been born, she finds herself in a nightmare parallel universe and discovers that without her, things could be much, much worse.

"Now the killer is back, and she must team up with the town misfit to identify the killer and get back to her own reality."

McHale plays Winnie's father David, while Long features as the town's pastor Mr Waters.

This isn't the only horror movie trailer to arrive this week, with one released for Night Swim starring Marvel's Wyatt Russell.

The thriller follows Ray Waller, an ex-baseball player forced into early retirement by a degenerative illness, who moves into a new home with his wife and children — only for the family to be confronted by a "malevolent force that will drag [them] under, into the depths of inescapable terror".

It's a Wonderful Knife hits US cinemas on November 10, while UK fans can catch it over on streaming service Shudder at a later date.
