Bryan Bertino’s ‘Vicious’ Starring Dakota Fanning Set for October Release on Paramount+

Give it something you hate, something you need, and something you love.

Vicious will be released on Paramount+ and Digital on October 10 following its world premiere at Fantastic Fest next month.

Check out the poster below for the latest horror film from The Strangers writer-director Bryan Bertino.

When Polly receives a mysterious box from an unexpected late-night visitor, it comes with a simple instruction: place three things inside: something you need, something you hate, and something you love. What begins as a strange ritual quickly unravels into a waking nightmare.

Trapped in a terrifying world where reality bends and memory betrays, Polly must navigate a series of impossible choices. As time slips away, she’s forced to confront the darkness not just around her, but within her—before it consumes everything and everyone she’s ever known.

Dakota Fanning stars with Kathryn Hunter, Mary McCormack, Rachel Blanchard, Devyn Nekoda, Klea Scott, and Emily Mitchell.

Bertino produces alongside Richard Suckle (Wonder Woman, Scooby-Doo). Melinda Whitaker and Shane Boucher executive produce.

Vicious was initially slated for an August 8 theatrical release before being moved up to February 28 and then getting bumped from the schedule altogether.
