Dakota Fanning stars in trailer for horror Vicious

September 17, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Paramount+ has released a trailer and poster for Vicious, the upcoming horror from writer-director Bryan Bertino (The Stranger).

Dakota Fanning stars as Polly, a young woman who finds herself facing a series of terrifying impossible choices after receiving a mysterious box from a strange, late night visitor.

Joining Fanning in the cast are Kathryn Hunter, Mary McCormack, Rachel Blanchard, Devyn Nekoda, Klea Scott, and Emily Mitchell. Check out the trailer below…

When Polly (Dakota Fanning) receives a mysterious Box from an unexpected late-night visitor, it comes with a simple instruction: place three things inside: something you need, something you hate, and something you love. What begins as a strange ritual quickly unravels into a waking nightmare. Trapped in a terrifying world where reality bends and memory betrays, Polly must navigate a series of impossible choices. As time slips away, she’s forced to confront the darkness not just around her, but within her—before it consumes everything and everyone she’s ever known.

Vicious arrives on Paramount+ on October 10th.
