‘Sirat’ Trailer: NEON’s Next Big Movie Feels Dangerous to Watch!
While not horror, Oliver Laxe’s psychological thriller Sirāt is said to be brimming with existential dread and incredibly intense. The intense af trailer itself calls to mind William Friedkin’s 1997 masterpiece Sorcerer, which is still undefeated.
Neon announced today that Sirāt will first be released in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, February 6, followed by a nationwide rollout in later February.
In the film…
A father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. They are searching for Mar — daughter and sister — who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert. As they venture deeper into the burning wilderness, the journey forces them to confront their own limits.
Since it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the Jury Prize, the film has emerged as one of the most acclaimed international films of the year. Sirāt is nominated for 2 Golden Globes including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Score, and 9 European Film Awards including Best European Film, Best Director, Actor, Screenwriter, Casting Director, Cinematographer, Editor, Production Designer and Sound Designer. The film is also shortlisted in 5 categories for the 2026 Academy Awards including Best International Feature (Spain), Best Casting, Best Cinematography, Best Music (Original Score) and Best Sound.
The movie is also nominated for 4 London Critics’ Circle Film Awards including Film of the Year, Foreign Language Film of the Year, Director of the Year and Technical Achievement for Laia Casanovas in Sound.
