Playwright, screenwriter and director Neil LaBute returns to the big screen with action-thriller Fear the Night for Quiver Distribution, starring certified badass Maggie Q.

Fear the Night follows war veteran Tess (Q) as she prepares for her sister’s bachelorette party. As the festivities unfold, the party is abruptly interrupted by a group of home invaders who quickly take the house under siege looking for a hidden fortune, and Tess soon discovers that their attackers don’t intend to leave any witnesses.

Maggie Q is best known for her starring roles in the spy-thriller series Nikita, as well as the Divergent film franchise. Kat Foster, Travis Hammer, Highdee Kuan, and Gia Crovatin also star in the thriller, which is both written and directed by LaBute.

LaBute recently directed the Justin Long and Kate Bosworth-starring comedy horror House of Darkness. He’s best known for creating the popular Syfy series Van Helsing, a horror series set in a post-apocalyptic near future, and which centres on a vampire hunter who awakens from a coma to find vampires have come to overrun humanity.

Fear the Night will have a limited cinema release and be available on VOD from July 21st, 2023. Watch the official trailer below:
