Coming soon from Epic Pictures Group, the parent company of Dread Central, is the sci-fi thriller Double Blind. The film, directed by Irish filmmaker Ian Hunt-Duffy, imagines a terrifying reality where if you fall asleep, you die. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like my worst nightmare (pun intended).
Read the full synopsis below:
Double Blind begins as an experimental drug trial goes horribly wrong, and seven young test subjects must face the terrifying side effect of the drug: if you fall asleep you die. Trapped in an isolated medical facility, they must find a way to escape, and somehow manage to stay awake.
Check out our exclusive clip from the sci-fi thriller:
“As a director I am deeply passionate about creating high-concept and suspenseful genre films, and I believe that the hook of our story—if you fall asleep you die—is really evocative and exciting,” says Hunt-Duffy. “It takes something normal and innocent like sleep and makes it deadly, creating panic and terror whenever someone closes their eyes. We have a fantastic ensemble cast led by Millie Brady and horror icon Pollyanna McIntosh, so I cannot wait for audiences to experience the tension, disorientation, and dread of Double Blind.”
Millie Brady (The Queen’s Gambit), Pollyanna McIntosh (The Walking Dead), Diarmuid Noyes (Blood), Akshay Kumar (Count Abdulla), Brenock O’Connor (Game of Thrones), Abby Fitz (The Cellar), Shonagh Marie (Britannia), and Frank Blake (Cherry) star in the film. Darach McGarrigle wrote Double Blind and Simon James Doyle served as producer.
Double Blind hits select theaters beginning February 9, 2024, and comes to digital platforms on February 13, 2024.
