Pranksters Need ‘Nightlight’ To Survive Supernatural Attack
Indie supernatural thriller Nightlight, directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods from their own script, has unveiled a cast of Shelby Young (pictured; The Midnight Game , “American Horror Story”), Chloe Bridges (Forget Me Not), Carter Jenkins (Bad News Bears, Aliens in the Attic), Mitch Hewer and Taylor Murphy, reports Variety. Norton Herrick and Darren Brandl are producing. Herrick Entertainment is producing and financing the pic, which just wrapped on location in Utah.
“Set in a remote forest, ‘Nightlight’ revolves around five teens and a prank that goes awry over the course of one long night. Story will be told from a singular point of view.”
Herrick Entertainment’s projects included Vanishing on 7th Street.
Beck and Woods previously wrote, directed and produced the pilot “Spread” for MTV.
From The Lure director Agnieszka Smoczyńska, the dystopian sci-fi thriller Hot Spot starring Noomi Rapace will be released in North American theaters on August 21, 2026 via Focus Features, and the film has received its official ‘R’ rating from the MPA this week.
Just how far is the film going to be pushing that rating? Hot Spot is rated ‘R’ for “strong violent content, gore, graphic nudity, sexual content and brief language.”
Watch the previously released official trailer below. Here’s the synopsis…
“In a near future society ruled by sentient AI, a private eye investigates a murder case, only to discover a rebel group capable of undermining the digital overlord.”
Andrzej Konopka (The Lure) and Reika Kirishima (Drive My Car) also star.
Robert Bolesto (The Lure) wrote the screenplay.
