A quiet town. A string of brutal murders. A sheriff racing against time.

DEAD OF NIGHT is bringing small-town terror to the big screen this November.

Directed and co-written by Derek Sulek (Trapped in the Cabin, Chaos on the Farm), this atmospheric mystery-horror thriller follows Sheriff Weaver, played by Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend’s Wedding, About Schmidt), as he investigates a series of gruesome killings that send his community spiraling into fear and paranoia.

But he’s not the only one searching for answers. Weaver’s daughter Kelly, played by Kirrilee Berger (Unsung Hero), begins investigating the murders herself and suspects something far more sinister is lurking beneath the surface. With the mayor scrambling to keep the town from falling apart, the race is on to uncover the truth before more lives are lost.

The cast also features Scott Grimes (Ted, Oppenheimer), Jake Busey (Stranger Things), and wrestling legend and musician Chris Jericho (Terrifier 2, Terrifier 3), who serves as an executive producer.

Drawing inspiration in part from the fear surrounding the real-life Night Stalker era, DEAD OF NIGHT promises a dark, unsettling look at what happens when a seemingly peaceful community loses its sense of security.

DEAD OF NIGHT arrives exclusively in theaters on November 13, 2026, followed by an On Demand release on January 12, 2027. If small-town murder mysteries and atmospheric horror are your thing, this one deserves a spot on your watchlist.
