Sarah Michelle Gellar is dipping her foot back into the horror pool with the psychological thriller Sometimes I Lie, an adaptation of the international bestselling novel by Alice Feeney written for the screen by Robin Swicord (Curious Case of Benjamin Button).

Gellar plays a woman who wakes up in the hospital paralyzed and unable to speak nor open her eyes, but can hear those around her and suspects her husband is responsible for her condition. The show alternates between her present state, childhood memories, and the week before her accident.

Gellar, best known for her iconic turn as Buffy Summers in Joss Whedon’s hit series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” made quite a splash in horror early in her career, starring in blockbuster films The Grudge 1 & 2, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Scream 2. Maybe this is a step back in the right direction?
