An estimated 30% of people experience at least one sleep paralysis episode within their lifetime. Most resolve themselves over time.
The teaser trailer for Night Terror, however, shows a case that continues to worsen — until it’s too late.
The found footage horror film is co-directed by Joshua Brucker (The Fairfield County Four) and Hunter Nino from a script by Brucker.
It follows Shelly, a young woman plagued by sleep paralysis and night terrors who becomes the subject of a documentary after her call for help catches the attention of two college students.
Things take a dark turn, prompting Shelly to seek the help of a team of paranormal investigators to help stop the malevolent force that has consumed her.
Marleigh Arnold, Nino, Madelynn Wierda, Berkeley Slightom, and Samuel J. Howard star.
Filmed in the small town of Watseka, Illinois, Night Terror captures the rural feel Brucker grew up with. “When I was a child, my family and I lived on a farm, no neighbors for miles,” Brucker said. “The isolation can be very terrifying, so my goal was to capture that feeling. No one can hear you, no one is going to rescue you if something goes wrong. You’re on your own.”
Produced by Horror Dadz Productions, Gray Sky Pictures, and N15 Media, Night Terror is coming soon.
