Eli Roth’s new company, The Horror Section, is set to bring the found-footage film Dream Eater to digital platforms next week, fresh off its limited theatrical run.
The film is from the Canadian genre trio behind Blind Luck Pictures—Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams. They co-wrote and directed. Williams and Drumm also star.
Co-written and co-directed by Drakulic, Drumm, and Williams, the film also stars Williams and Drumm. The Horror Section promises a nightmare that “lingers long after the final frame.” Prepare yourself for “raw, documentary-style realism with escalating tension and scares.”
The plot centers on documentary filmmaker Mallory (Mallory Drumm) and her boyfriend Alex (Alex Lee Williams). They retreat to a remote cabin to film Alex’s struggles with violent parasomnia (sleepwalking). As his condition deteriorates, Mallory begins to suspect a much more sinister force is at play.
Roth issued a powerful endorsement, comparing his reaction to watching Dream Eater to his first encounters with The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.
“I vividly remember every movie that truly terrified me,” Roth stated. “I remember watching a screener of Paranormal Activity during the filming of Inglorious Basterds… And then there was Dream Eater, watching this movie alone, in my house, and turning on the lights because it was that scary. It has been so long since I have been truly terrified by a film to such a degree that I had almost forgotten what it felt like.”
Roth praised the filmmakers for achieving “the holy grail of horror,” declaring: “I believe Dream Eater will be the scariest film of the year and truly has the potential to break out to be the next Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project.”
Witness the horrors of Dream Eater at home on November 18, 2025.
