Dakota Fanning is teaming up with director Bryan Bertino (The Strangers, Dark and the Wicked). Variety reports that Fanning will star in Vicious, the next horror film from Bertino.

Vicious has already been dated for release on August 8, 2025.

“The plot follows a young woman who must spend the night fighting for her existence as she slips down a disturbing rabbit hold contained inside a mysterious gift from a late-night visitor.”

Bryan Bertino wrote the script and will be directing the film. Dakota Fanning was just recently seen in the trailer for The Watchers another horror movie coming out this year. We are also excited to see Bertino making another horror movie after The Dark and The Wicked which we felt was slept on.
