The article covers the newly released trailer for the film "The Man in My Basement," a psychological thriller starring Corey Hawkins and Willem Dafoe.

The plot centers on Charles Blakey (Hawkins), a man deep in debt who is about to lose his ancestral home. A mysterious and wealthy man named Anniston Bennet (Dafoe) makes him a strange offer: he will pay Blakey $50,000 to rent his basement for the summer. The unsettling catch is that Bennet wants to live there as Blakey's "prisoner."

As the trailer reveals, what starts as a strange business arrangement quickly spirals into a tense and unnerving psychological game. While Blakey's financial problems are solved, the power dynamics between the two men begin to shift in ominous ways, taking a severe mental toll on him.

The film, directed by Nadia Latif and based on the novel by Walter Mosley, is described as an exploration of complex themes including race, class, and power. "The Man in My Basement" is set to be released in theaters and on demand on July 26.
