‘Vicious’ Star Dakota Fanning Talks Her Chilling New Role

VICIOUS

Dakota Fanning is no stranger to the horror genre. At just nine years old, she starred in the chilling Hide and Seek, and just last year, she fought off fae folk in The Watchers. Now, she’s flying almost entirely solo in Bryan Bertino’s latest film, Vicious, which sees Fanning face off against a faceless being and a strange box…

Read the film’s full synopsis:

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.

We spoke with Fanning about approaching such a challenging role, working with Bryan Bertino, and more.
