Sarah Paulson is no stranger to the horror genre, as the "American Horror Story" star. Since the departure of Jessica Lange she has basically taken over the mantle as her queen. But as she sat out on' AHS' last season, she clearly missed some scares in her life. Horror fans can try out her in "RUN" now.

The film focuses on the story of Diane (Paulson) and her daughter Chloe (Kiera Allen). Just like the actress who plays her, Chloe is confined to a wheelchair. But her mother keeps her inside the house and refuses to let her leave. Over the course of the story, Chloe realizes her mother may be hiding something dark and dangerous.

Due to its anthology format, Paulson has played a variety of vastly different characters for AHS. She’s played everything from a medium to a witch to a set of conjoined twins. But one thing she did not get much practice on AHS was playing the villain. It seems like “Run” is setting her up for the chance to flex her villainous muscles.

Aneesh Chaganty, writer and director of “Searching,” is at the helm for this two-hander. “Searching” was exclusively told through computer and phone screens. That angle, along with its fascinating premise and impressive performances, made it a pretty unforgettable film. We’ll be anxious to see what Chagantry has up his sleeve this time, but he’s set a pretty high standard for himself.

Here’s a brief synopsis for “Run”: A homeschooled teenager begins to suspect her mother is keeping a dark secret from her.

“Run” drops in theaters on May 8. For those you who haven’t clocked the deep sense of irony, that’s Mother’s Day weekend. Take a look at the new trailer below and maybe leave mom home for this one.
