The Dead Thing | Official Trailer | Shudder

Feature Film, trailer - released on Valentines Day 2025

Directed by Elric Kane

Produced by Matt Mercer, Monte Yazzie

“There are two stars in The Dead Thing: Hunt (who made her film debut as Danielle Moonstar/Mirage in The New Mutants) and the cinematography of Ioana Vasile, which totally sells the possibility that the supernatural can exist within our modern world. Vasile also captures the film’s many sex scenes in a way that is both erotic and tasteful (this is a very sex positive film, and I doubt that having the Shudder premiere on Valentine’s Day is a coincidence).” 

— Sarah Boslaugh, theartsstl.com

“The Dead Thing is still one of the most creative, relevant and gorgeously directed films of the 2020s, featuring some of the most evocative cinematography of the genre, a soothing score, and a cast that gives their best performances with their minimalistic script. The result is a modern morality tale that is as bleak as it is beautiful.”
