Overview

• Évanouis opened in theaters on August 6, 2025, as Zach Cregger’s first wholly original horror feature outside established franchises.
• The narrative unfolds in non-linear chapters that shift among a grieving father, a police officer, a recovering addict and a lone child who resisted the nighttime vanishings.
• Cregger cites Stephen King’s suspense and David Lynch’s subconscious style as inspirations for the film’s unreliable, puzzle-like structure.
• Josh Brolin, Benedict Wong, Julia Garner and Alden Ehrenreich deliver emotionally charged performances that ground the supernatural tension.
• The 2-hour-8-minute thriller balances jump scares, unsettling passages and sorcery motifs to maintain atmospheric dread throughout.
