Eli Roth’s The Horror Section Sets Theatrical Release for Found-Footage Film Dream Eater

Eli Roth’s company, The Horror Section, has acquired the distribution rights to the found-footage horror film "Dream Eater," which will make its theatrical debut on October 24, 2025. The film, co-written and co-directed by Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams, follows a documentary filmmaker documenting her boyfriend's violent parasomnia at a remote cabin, where sinister and escalating nightmares unfold. Roth praised the film as deeply terrifying, comparing it to iconic horror titles like "The Blair Witch Project" and "Paranormal Activity," highlighting that it achieved the rare feat of truly frightening him. The Horror Section, which has recently launched with the theatrical release of Joe Begos’s "Jimmy and Stiggs," aims to expand its slate with boundary-pushing horror projects like "Dream Eater." Roth emphasized the film’s low-budget, DIY filmmaking approach while delivering intense scares that linger beyond the final frame. The acquisition underscores The Horror Section’s commitment to producing and distributing impactful horror content, catering to fans seeking immersive and chilling cinematic experiences.
