COLLIDER: New Trailer for Sci-Fi Thriller ‘Site’ Sees a 'Sons of Anarchy' Alum Discover a Time Travel Disaster [Exclusive]
June 16, 2025
Actions have consequences, and Blue Fox Entertainment's newest sci-fi thriller SITE shows just that. Collider is thrilled to unveil an exclusive look at the first trailer of the thriller/horror starring Jake McLaughlin (HOME, ABC’s Will Trent), Arielle Kebbel (The Vampire Diaries and John Tucker Must Die), Theo Rossi (The Penguin, Sons of Anarchy), Miki Ishikawa, and Yoson An. The film hits theaters and VOD on August 8.
The trailer opens with Neil Bardo (McLaughlin) taking his son on a motorcycle ride through the woods, seemingly against the wishes of his ex, Elena (Kebbel). When he leaves for a job, he's lured to a government testing site that looks abandoned in the middle of a shift. Evidently, Neil stumbles upon something so powerful, so altering that it begins to affect his whole family. The synopsis for SITE is as follows:
"While inspecting an abandoned military site, Neil Bardo suffers a mind-altering time distortion. Soon after, haunting hallucinations of strangers and troubling events from the past bleed into Neil’s reality. One vision is so traumatic, it leads to a biking accident that nearly blinds his only son. With his life unraveling and his son’s sight hanging in the balance, Neil must uncover the secrets of the facility and the soul-shattering truth of his hallucinations."
Jake McLaughlin's Incident at the 'SITE' Will Affect More Than Him
While the bigger family dynamics are unclear, we already see that whatever happened at the abandoned military site will affect more people than just Neil. In the trailer, the distortion he experiences has him gone for 45 minutes. The distortion warps his reality and his sense of time, seeing what appears to be an alien and other faces in the pulsing time distortion he's standing in front of. It's not until he meets Garrison (Rossi) outside that he realizes that he's been gone for as long as he was. At some point, Neil's son suffers an accident, rendering him without his sight (a play on words, perhaps?).
Directed by Jason Eric Perlman, the heart-pounding thriller looks to balance how one's choices affect everyone. Unceremoniously abandoning a military site where biological warfare seemed to take place, all intertwines with the ways Neil is struggling both before and after the distortion. The distortion causes the accident that renders his son blind, whether that's the accident we see at the beginning of the trailer or not, remains to be seen.
SITE releases in theaters and on VOD August 8. Stay with Collider for the latest updates.
