‘Somnium’ Trailer – Chloe Levine’s Dreams Come True in Sci-Fi Horror Film

Somnium will make your wildest dreams come true, but the side effects could be deadly.

The sci-fi horror film will be released theatrically in Los Angeles on August 29 and in New York City on September 6 before hitting VOD on September 9 via Yellow Veil Pictures.

After a painful breakup, small-town girl Gemma moves to Los Angeles with the hopes of making it big. To get on her feet, she takes a job working the overnight shift at Somnium – a mysterious, experimental sleep clinic where dreams are made real.

Meanwhile, Gemma throws herself into the cutthroat world of Hollywood auditions. But as the pressure to succeed mounts, she begins to experience strange and unsettling phenomena, and soon finds herself trapped in a nightmarish spiral as she discovers a darkness lurking within the clinic walls.

Somnium marks the feature debut of writer-director Racheal Cain. Fallowing a successful crowdfunding campaign, the flashback scenes were shot in Georgia in 2018, while the present day scenes were filmed in Lost Angeles in 2021 and 2022.

Chloë Levine (“The OA”) stars with Will Peltz (Unfriended), Peter Vack (“Mozart in the Jungle”), Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”), Draya Michele (“Basketball Wives LA”), and Johnathon Schaech (Quarantine).

“I couldn’t have dreamt Somnium would end up in theaters just a few miles from where I started writing it all those years ago,” said Cain. “This film has clawed its way into existence over the last decade and I can only hope viewers find it was worth the wait.”
