Chucky franchise veteran Fiona Dourif stars in the stylized sci-fi horror thriller with Julia Batelaan, Yasmin Blake, and Lloydd Hamwijk.

The indie film centers on Max, a young woman, who – enabled by a mysterious futuristic machine – dives inside the mind of her dying girlfriend, trying to find the essential memory that could save her life, all the while being hunted by a man they presumed to be dead.

Thijs Meuwese (Molly) writes and directs in addition to producing alongside Monne Tuinhout and David Grover.

“Psychonaut is a trippy microbudget drama with elements of science fiction and horror in the same vein as movies like Pi, Following, Primer, and The Lighthouse,” said Meuwese. “Designed from the ground up to blur the boundaries between reality, dream and memory, Psychonaut is a gritty dive into human subconsciousness and the formative moments of our lives.”

The Dutch Angle Project, Falcon Grove Productions, Branded Cinema, and Get Off the Road are behind the film.

Daniel Kurland wrote in his review out of the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival ,”Psychonaut deserves credit for shooting for the moon, but its lofty ambitions cause the film to fall short and end up out of orbit.”

Psychonaut will be released in the U.S. this year from Studio Dom, while Fizz-e-Motion will represent the project for international sales at the European Film Market in Berlin next month.
