Magnolia Pictures has released the trailer for “Tickled,” a Sundance Film Festival favorite, that follows bisexual journalist David Farrier as he investigates the underground world of “competitive endurance tickling.”
Farrier, a New Zealand journalist whose area of expertise is covering odd subjects, sets out to make a documentary about the quirky world of tickling competitions. After receiving homophobic harassment from the organization holding these competitions, Farrier decides to dig deeper into the strange subculture.
According to the documentary, what Farrier discovers is more horrifying than expected with Esquire calling the film “a mystery-horror thriller in which the bogeyman is everywhere.”
“Tickled” hits theaters June 17.
