A spine-chilling new horror movie, Eye for an Eye, is set to redefine terror this summer, introducing audiences to a fresh nightmare creature—Mr. Sandman. Directed by Colin Tilley, known for his striking work in music videos and expanding footprint in the film industry, this film promises a haunting experience that will linger long after the credits roll.
The screenplay, crafted by Elisa Victoria and Michael Tully, follows Anna (Whitney Peak, acclaimed for her roles in Gossip Girl and Hocus Pocus 2), a young woman devastated by the sudden loss of her parents. Seeking refuge from the chaos of New York City, Anna relocates to a small Florida town to live with a grandmother (S. Epatha Merkerson of Chicago Med) she has never met.
Out of place and isolated, Anna gradually finds connection with local teens, but her fragile hope for a new start is shattered when she witnesses a brutal act of violence. This horrifying event draws her into the dark web of Mr. Sandman, a vengeful entity who punishes the wrongdoers by gruesomely removing their eyes—an act that sets a terrifying tone for the movie’s narrative.
The film boasts an impressive supporting cast including Finn Bennett (True Detective: Night Country) and Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, DUNE), elevating the chilling story with powerful performances.
Produced by Tim Headington, Theresa Steele Page, Rachael Fung, and Nate Kamiya, with executive producers David Darby, Lauren Shelton, Elisa Victoria, Susan Kirr, and Bill Tagliaferri, Eye for an Eye aims to make a significant impact on the horror movie landscape.
Combining elements of psychological thriller and creature feature, this film offers a fresh take that will resonate deeply with fans of the genre. Mark your calendars—Eye for an Eye premieres in select theaters and on demand on June 20, 2025, courtesy of Vertical Entertainment.
