Detach from reality with trailer for sci-fi horror Somnium

July 31, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its digital release this September, a poster and trailer have arrived online for writer-director Racheal Cain’s sci-fi horror Somnium.

The film follows Gemma (Chloë Levine), a young woman who works the night shift at an experimental sleep clinic to makes ends met while hoping to make it big in L.A., where she spirals into a nightmare of hallucinations, confusion and paranoia, as she begins to detach from her own reality.

The cast also includes Will Peltz, Peter Vack, Johnathon Schaech, and Grace Van Dien. Watch the trailer below…

After a painful breakup, small-town Gemma moves to Los Angeles with the hopes of making it big. To get on her feet, she takes a job working the overnight shift at Somnium – a mysterious, experimental sleep clinic where dreams are made real. Meanwhile, Gemma throws herself into the cutthroat world of Hollywood auditions. But as the pressure to succeed mounts, she begins to experience strange and unsettling phenomena, and soon finds herself trapped in a nightmarish spiral as she discovers a darkness lurking within the clinic walls.

Somnium arrives on digital on September 9th.
