Black Mandala Wants Us To "PLAY DEAD" (2025) And We Can’t Wait (TRAILER)

We’re only two months into 2025 and new horror movies keep rolling out at warp speed (just the way we like it.) We can’t be the only weirdos who’ve played dead at least once when they were kids. Well, maybe we were… but what if you actually had to do this in order to survive? Black Mandala (Films) has released a chilling trailer for an all-new horror film coming later this year titled “Play Dead.” As stated in the press release, the film draws “heavy inspiration from horror classics such as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Don’t Breathe”, and “The Collector.” Which sounds like it will be right up our alley.

Synopsis

“Play Dead follows the harrowing journey of Alison (Paula Brasca {“What the Waters Left Behind”}), who finds herself gravely injured and trapped in a dark, cryptic basement. Desperate to survive, she must use her wits and pretend to be dead, blending in with the corpses around her. But as she clings to life, she makes a horrifying discovery—above her, a grotesque, ritualistic celebration is unfolding. With each passing moment, the danger escalates.”
