Vicious has faced multiple delays since its initial announcement. Originally scheduled for release on August 8, 2025, it was then moved to February 2025, only to be pulled from the calendar once again. Paramount is now searching for a new, more suitable release date, but the film remains in limbo for now. While we don’t know all the details, we do know that Vicious follows the story of a young woman who receives a mysterious gift from a late-night visitor. As she delves deeper into the contents, she finds herself fighting for her life, slipping into a disturbing and dangerous situation. Dakota Fanning stars in the lead role, with an impressive cast that includes Kathryn Hunter, Mary McCormack, Rachel Blanchard, and Devyn Nekoda.
Bryan Bertino, who also wrote the screenplay, is known for creating films that build intense, atmospheric tension. His previous works like The Strangers and The Dark and the Wicked have made a lasting impact on the horror genre, so expectations are high for Vicious . The film is produced by Atlas Independent, with Richard Suckle producing and Melinda Whitaker serving as executive producer.
Fans are left eagerly waiting for more news on Vicious , especially after Bertino’s successful track record with psychological horror. With its unsettling premise and a cast led by Dakota Fanning, this film had a lot of potential to be a major hit. Now, all we can do is hope that Paramount finds a new release date soon, one that will let us experience the chilling ride Bertino has crafted.
For now, we’ll have to wait and see if Vicious will eventually see the light of day. Stay tuned for updates, as Vicious could still turn out to be one of the standout horror films of 2025.
