“I’m going to carve you pretty little things up just right.” Dread + Epic have unveiled the official trailer for an indie horror film titled Bystanders, set to release on VOD this January. The film premiered at the HorrorHounds Film Festival last year, marking the feature directorial debut of film journalist Mary Beth McAndrews, who also runs Dread. The film garnered several awards during the festival. The plot follows a group of murderous fraternity boys who encounter a couple returning from a wedding, leading to unexpected consequences. “Bystanders has been incredibly close to my heart since I first read Jamie Alvey’s script,” McAndrews stated. “The message of ‘Bystanders’ is more crucial now than ever, and I’m excited that Dread is helping us share it with a wider audience.” This indie revenge horror thriller features talents such as Brandi Botkin, Bob Wilcox, Garrett Murphy, Jamie Alvey, Chaney Morrow, and Hannah Fierman. The narrative focuses on avenging the actions of predatory individuals—an essential theme in today’s society.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Mary Beth McAndrews’ film Bystanders, directly from YouTube:

Clare & Gray (Jamie Alvey & Garrett Murphy) represent a typical loving millennial couple navigating a disillusioned world. Abby (Brandi Botkin) is an endearing yet awkward teenager. When Abby attends a party hosted by her crush, a wealthy fraternity boy named Cody, the event spirals out of control as Cody and his friends decide to drug, assault, and hunt several girls present. As Abby’s journey intersects with Gray & Clare’s, they form an unexpected alliance amidst a night filled with chaos and violence, fighting for survival against predatory college students. Bystanders is directed by genre producer and filmmaker Mary Beth McAndrews, making her feature directorial debut; she also serves as Editor-in-Chief of Dread. The screenplay is penned by actress Jamie Alvey and produced by Jeff Seemann. This film first premiered at the 2024 HorrorHound Film Festival. Epic will release Bystanders directly to VOD in the US starting on January 21st, 2025. Does it look promising?
