The official teaser for ALPHA introduces a sleek and chilling world where boardrooms are battlegrounds and civility is just a thin layer over instinct. Directed by Oscar-winner Shawn Christensen (Curfew, The Vanishing of Sidney Hall), the film stars Alice Braga and directed in part by rising auteur Karl Glusman in a tale of inner beast versus polished surface.

The teaser is a study in restraint: sharp cuts, ambient dread, and cryptic exchanges hint at psychological warfare inside a luxury Manhattan high-rise. Hushed power plays and whispered betrayals unfold as Alice Braga’s character begins to unravel the behaviors of her enigmatic boss, played with icy control by Raúl Castillo.

With its haunting score and sterile color palette, ALPHA blends the paranoia of Eyes Wide Shut with the oppressive ambition of The Assistant. This is a world where evolution is currency and dominance comes in tailored suits.

ALPHA hits theaters this October, inviting audiences to ask: beneath the office politics, who’s really in control?
