Watch the Chilling First Trailer for Found-Footage ‘Sundown’

A new supernatural horror film is preparing to make its world premiere next month, and today we’ve got your first look.

The official trailer for Sundown has arrived, teasing a found footage-style supernatural nightmare starring Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night, Haunt), Emily Sweet (V/H/S/95, Castle Freak), Chris Alexander, Kelly Waters, Erich Rausch, and Michael Leavy (Terrifier, Stream).

Directed by Marcus Slabine (The Dark Offerings) and Brian Klingborg, who also wrote the screenplay, Sundown follows a grieving family whose search for answers uncovers something far more terrifying than they ever expected.

“Mary, whose husband has recently died of dementia, claims his spirit is haunting her house. When her estranged son Chris learns that Mary believes she is being haunted, he arrives with his filmmaker friend Bill and a spiritualist named Clarissa with the intention of proving to Mary that it’s all in her head. They soon discover the truth is far more disturbing than they could have ever imagined.”

The story itself has an even more unsettling origin.

According to Klingborg, Sundown was inspired by a true story shared by cast member Chris Alexander involving a death in his own family.

“The inspiration for Sundown came from a true story that Chris shared with me about a death in his family. The strange and unsettling events surrounding that experience stayed with me and became the foundation for the screenplay. I wanted to explore the fragile line between love, grief, and horror, and how loss can leave us questioning what’s real. In an incredible twist of fate, we ended up filming in the very house where the real events took place, adding an authenticity and atmosphere that we could never have recreated anywhere else.”
