A trailer has gone online for Black Butterfly, a cat-and-mouse thriller pitting a frustrated novelist against a murderous drifter. Antonio Banderas plays the writer, whose desperate need for inspiration finds him welcoming the psychopath into his isolated cabin during a storm and ending up a hostage.

An adaptation of the French thriller Papillon Noir, Black Butterfly is directed by Brian Goodman (What Doesn’t Kill You) and co-stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers (“The Tudors”) as the drifter and Piper Perabo (pictured) as the writer’s hot real estate agent girlfriend.

In selected theaters and On-Demand May 26.
