Vertical Entertainment has released the official trailer for Eye For An Eye, a supernatural horror film led by Gossip Girl star Whitney Peak and directed by acclaimed music video helmer Colin Tilley in his feature debut. The film hits select theaters and on demand June 20.
Adapted from Elisa Victoria’s graphic novel Mr. Sandman, the film follows Anna (Peak), a grieving teen who moves from New York to a small Florida town to live with the grandmother she’s never met, played by S. Epatha Merkerson (Chicago Med). Struggling to adjust, Anna befriends two local teens (Finn Bennett and Laken Giles) and soon finds herself a witness to an act of brutal violence.
But that’s just the beginning. After the incident, Anna becomes entangled with Mr. Sandman — a sinister entity born from the trauma of a tormented child. He stalks bullies in their dreams… and devours their eyeballs when they wake.
The cast also includes Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story). The screenplay was penned by Elisa Victoria and Michael Tully. Producers include Tim Headington, Theresa Steele Page, Rachael Fung, and Nate Kamiya, with executive producers David Darby, Lauren Shelton, Elisa Victoria, Susan Kirr, and Bill Tagliaferri.
