Epic Pictures and Dread have unveiled the first trailer, poster, and images for the upcoming screenlife horror-thriller Don’t Log Off, crafted by writer-directors Brandon and Garrett Baer. This innovative film immerses viewers in the tense atmosphere of a group of friends connecting via video call during the 2020 lockdown—a setting that lends itself perfectly to the movie’s claustrophobic and eerie vibe.
The plot centers on the sudden disappearance of Sam (played by Modern Family’s Ariel Winter) during a routine videocall. As her friends investigate online, they too begin vanishing one by one under mysterious circumstances. Racing against time, they must unravel the sinister force threatening their lives before it’s too late.
Don’t Log Off stands out in the horror genre by embracing the screenlife format—a storytelling approach increasingly embraced by the film industry to reflect modern communication methods. The film’s ensemble cast also includes Brielle Barbusca, Luke Benward, Sterling Beaumon, Jack Griffo, Kara Royster, Ashley Argota, and Khylin Rhambo, bringing together a dynamic group of movie characters whose fates intertwine in a chilling narrative.
The trailer effectively sets the tone of mounting dread, echoing the psychological tension typical of top-tier psychological thrillers, as the friends’ virtual connection becomes a conduit for real-world horror.
Don’t Log Off will be available on VOD starting July 15th, offering horror aficionados and fans of suspenseful movie genres a fresh, technology-driven experience that reflects contemporary fears and isolation.
