You may have seen our exclusive image of Chris Hemsworth – shirt open, abs everywhere – from Bad Times At The El Royale. Now here's your chance to meet the rest of the cast, as the trailer has just arrived.

Drew Goddard, who wrote The Martian and co-wrote and directed Cabin In The Woods, reunites with the star of the latter for this new thriller, which, according to its official synopsis, finds seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, meeting at Lake Tahoe’s El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption – before everything goes to hell...

Those strangers include Jon Hamm (channeling a blend of Don Draper and a Southern preacher), Dakota Johnson, Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Cailee Spaeny and Nick Offerman, and the venue itself has a distinct Twin Peaks feel, straddling the border between California and Nevada in the late 1960s.

Bad Times At The El Royale will hit our cinemas on 12 October. For a breakdown of the trailer with Goddard, head here.
