First Trailer for Adventure Film ‘The Legend of Ochi’ from Isaiah Saxon

“They can’t be our pets.” “He’s my friend.” A24 has revealed an official trailer for a magical new adventure film called The Legend of Ochi, marking the feature debut of up-and-coming filmmaker Isaiah Saxon. He has created many shorts and other cinema projects, but this is his first movie and it’s gorgeous. “Something else is out there…” A young girl who lives on a mysterious island heads off on her own into the wilderness when she befriends a little creature known as an Ochi. Similar to a monkey, but not like anything that really exists. The rest is a mystery, though IMDb adds that she “uncovers the mysteries of animal communication.” Look at this little cutie! Reminds me of Gizmo from Gremlins. The film stars Helena Zengel (from System Crasher & News of the World), Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson, and Willem Dafoe. It was originally filmed in 2021 and took three years to complete. Some scenes of the film have been shot in Transylvania, in the Apuseni Mountains, at the Bâlea Lake and on the Transfăgărășan road. I really want to watch this! They don’t really make these kind of magical fantasy adventure films anymore, but here we finally have another. // Continue Reading ›
