By Alex DiVincenzo | Bloody Disgusting

In Poland’s first giallo film, all eyes are on you.

Dead by Dawn slices into Digital tomorrow, March 13, via Chroma. Get an exclusive first look at the trailer below.

Set inside a legendary theater steeped in occult rumor, a rehearsal becomes a nightmare when a masked presence begins stalking the cast.

The actors become part of a sinister ritual as they’re targeted and tormented, forced to endure the night or be consumed by the performance.

In his feature debut, Polish writer-director Dawid Torrone puts an occult spin on the Italian giallo tradition — complete with stylish visuals and brutal practical kills at the hands of a black-gloved killer.

Sylwia Boron, Monika Frajczyk, Adam Machalica, Lukasz Szczepanowski, Piotr Nerlewski, Bartlomiej Topa, and Paulina Zwierz star.

Dead by Dawn premiered at the 2025 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and went on to screen at Screamfest, Grimmfest, Morbido Film Fest, and SXSW London, among others.
