We’ve got our first look atAnna KendrickandToni ColletteinJoe Penna’s sci-fi thrillerStowaway! In a new set of promotional pictures from the film, Netflix is also giving us glimpses ofDaniel Dae KimandShamier Anderson, who are joining the cast.

Ever sinceThe Exorcist, movies about demonic possession andthe religious figures who exorcise themhave been a staple of the horror genre. And why shouldn’t it be? Demons make great monsters (the Lipstick-Face Demon fromInsidiouscan go kick rocks, the scary bastard), andthe idea of being taken over by something evilis terrifying for anyone, religious or not.
