The MUBI streaming platform put itself on the map in a big way with horror fans with the recent premiere of Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance, and now a buzzy horror short is headed to the service in the coming days. It’s titled Dream Creep, and you can watch the trailer below.
From writer/director Carlos A.F. Lopez, Dream Creep originally premiered at Sundance this year, and Indiewire lets us know that it’s coming exclusively to MUBI on December 1.
Rave reviews have hailed the short as “the scariest short on the festival circuit” (Indiewire) and “one of the best bloody horror movies I’ve seen in a long time” (Hope for Film).
Indiewire previews, “Clocking in at just 12 minutes and 34 seconds, the dazzling genre snippet stars Sidney Jayne Hunt and Ian Edlund as spouses stuck in a reverse Nightmare on Elm Street.” What’s the short horror film about, you ask? The site details…
“When a voice emanating from inside the sleeping woman’s head instructs her husband NOT to wake her — but instead grab a meat thermometer from the kitchen and do something unthinkable to her ear — he’s forced to make a decision that could kill them both.”
Indiewire also notes that Carlos A.F. Lopez is currently working on turning Dream Creep into a feature film, so keep your eyes peeled for more information on the short’s expansion.
In the meantime, watch the trailer below and find Dream Creep on MUBI on December 1.
Outside the U.S., you can stream Dream Creep now on Canal+ (France, Monaco, Andorra, Mauritius, Switzerland, the African Territories) and Samansa (Japan, South Korea, Indonesia).
Carlos A.F. Lopez’s Dream Creep is a Proper Etiquette Pictures Film, made in partnership with Lenny Pictures & Coast House Materials, in association with Zeus Pictures.
