Bryan Bertino Previews Visceral ‘Vicious’ Ahead of Fantastic Fest World Premiere [Exclusive]

Writer/Director Bryan Bertino is back this Halloween season with Vicious, a mysterious new horror movie that promises one night of hell for star Dakota Fanning‘s character.

Vicious will be released on Paramount+ and Digital on October 10, following its world premiere at Fantastic Fest later this week, with the trailer set to debut tomorrow.

In Vicious, Fanning plays Polly, a woman facing the unthinkable when a stranger gives her a box in the middle of the night. It’s not just any ordinary box, either, but one that will unleash pure terror unless Polly follows three simple rules: give it something you need, something you hate, and something you love.
