‘The End of Oak Street’ Images Reveal a Wild New Dinosaur Nightmare from the Director of ‘It Follows’

Published

Director David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) returns to theaters this summer with The End of Oak Street, a mysterious new genre-bending thriller stomping into theaters August 14 from Warner Bros.

Starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, the upcoming sci-fi nightmare has been shrouded in secrecy since its announcement, but the recently released trailer — along with a fresh batch of images unveiled by Entertainment Weekly — confirms what horror fans have been suspecting all along: The End of Oak Street is unleashing DINOSAURS.

One newly released image in particular features a massive dinosaur tearing through a quiet suburban neighborhood, hinting at the kind of chaos Mitchell has in store.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Mitchell revealed the bizarre inspiration behind the film’s creature-filled concept.

“A few years ago, I was walking through our neighborhood in Michigan,” Mitchell explained. “I was passing this garage with a chain-link fence and garbage cans, and I suddenly thought, ‘It’d be really interesting if there was a dinosaur right there.’”

While comparisons to Jurassic Park are inevitable, Mitchell says his influences run much deeper.

“Like anybody, I absolutely love the first Jurassic Park,” the director told EW. “But for me, my language of dinosaur movies goes back much further. I wanted to do something different.”

Set in the early 1980s, The End of Oak Street follows the Platt family after a mysterious cosmic event rips their suburban neighborhood from reality and transports it somewhere unknown. As terrifying creatures begin to emerge, the family must fight to survive in a world that no longer makes sense.

The film is produced by J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella through Bad Robot.

Born in December, the darkest and coldest month of the year, Francesco Monti developed a passion for all things horror from an early age. A lifelong horror aficionado, his love for films, books, and the darker side of storytelling eventually led him into filmmaking, with a focus on horror, thriller, and sci-fi. In May 2022, Francesco turned that lifelong passion into GoreCulture — a platform created not only to bring horror fans closer to the films, stories, and culture they love, but to give a voice and valuable exposure to talented filmmakers, creators, and artists whose work deserves to be discovered, regardless of how established they are.
