Paramount Pictures' horror film Vicious will be released in theaters in February 2025
2024 isn't even over yet, and we've already been hearing about a lot of new horror content set to be released in 2025. For example, Paramount Pictures will release its new horror film Vicious early next year, and you won't believe who's in the cast.
We first learned of this horror flick back in February 2024. At the time, it was reported that Paramount Pictures had boarded a new horror film titled Vicious and that Emmy nominee Dakota Fanning (The Watchers, The Perfect Couple) would be leading the cast. Bryan Bertino (The Strangers, The Strangers: Prey at Night) was also announced to be helming the film. Atlas Entertainment and Richard Suckle were signed on to produce with Melinda Whitaker as executive producer. The movie was also given a Aug. 8, 2025 theatrical release.
However, so much new information has come out about this film since then. For one, it will no longer be released in theaters in August 2025. Instead, its theatrical release has been pushed up to Feb. 28, 2025. Also, it was revealed that Bertino did not only direct the film but he also wrote the script. We also found out who else will be joining Fanning in the cast which are Kathryn Hunter (The Front Room, Poor Things), Mary McCormack (The West Wing), Rachel Blanchard (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Devyn Nekoda (Scream VI), Klea Scott (Millennium), and Emily Mitchell (Ordinary Angels).
Vicious centers around a young woman played by Fanning, who after being given a strange present by a late-night visitor, soon finds herself fighting for her life as she slips down a rabbit hole contained inside the gift.
Unfortunately, this is all we know about this new horror film. As we near closer to its theatrical release date, Paramount Pictures will most likely drop an official trailer. Don't worry! We'll come back and share it as soon as it's released! So, make sure to stay tuned to 1428 Elm!
