From The Strangers to The Dark and the Wicked, Bryan Bertino is a master of crafting nihilistic nightmares. His latest film, Vicious, follows in those footsteps to create a gut punch of an experience about clawing through the mires of depression that come with being in your 30s.
In the film:
When Polly (Dakota Fanning) receives a mysterious Box from an unexpected late-night visitor, it comes with a simple instruction: place three things inside: something you need, something you hate, and something you love. What begins as a strange ritual quickly unravels into a waking nightmare. Trapped in a terrifying world where reality bends and memory betrays, Polly must navigate a series of impossible choices. As time slips away, she’s forced to confront the darkness not just around her, but within her—before it consumes everything and everyone she’s ever known.
In our exclusive clip from the film’s special features, available via the film’s digital release, Fanning discusses the cursed box at the center of the film.
Watch now:
Fanning stars in the film with Kathryn Hunter, Mary McCormack, Rachel Blanchard, Devyn Nekoda, Klea Scott, and Emily Mitchell.
In our review of the film from Fantastic Fest 2025, Dread Central’s Mary Beth McAndrews wrote: “While not as sharp-toothed as some of his previous works, Vicious packs the classic Bertino punch, which is bolstered by an incredible performance by Dakota Fanning.”
Vicious is available on VOD and streaming on Paramount+.
