New film Nocturnal Animals has been impressing critics following its premiere at festivals across the world (Toronto International Film Festival, London Film Festival) - and we've been granted access to a global exclusive clip of the ensemble drama from director Tom Ford.

It's been six years since the fashion designer's last film, A Single Man, was released starring an Oscar-nominated Colin Firth, Nicholas Hoult and Julianne Moore.

This time around, he's assembled the likes of Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal and Aaron Taylor-Johnson to head up the psychological thriller.

Story-wise, Nocturna Animals follows art gallery owner Susan Morrow (a scintillating Adams) who is sent the manuscript of her ex-husband's brand new novel which we see play out in scenes starring Gyllenhaal, Taylor-Johnson and Isla fisher; one such extremely tense moment can be seen in the exclusive clip above.

Despite not being seen in the above scene, actor Michael Shannon also shows up in scene-stealing form. You can watch a trailer for the icy drama here.
