Eye for an Eye

Anna leaves New York after the sudden death of her parents and moves to a small Florida town to live with a grandmother she barely knows. Cut off from friends and overwhelmed by grief, she longs for ordinary companionship and clings to the faint comfort offered by two local teens. But a cruel act tied to their group draws her into danger and she becomes entangled with a haunted force named Mr. Sandman, the tormented soul of a child who haunts bullies' dreams and then feeds on what wakes up. To break the spell and protect herself, Anna must reckon with the choices that pulled her into the heat of a crime she didn't intend.

Directed by Colin Tilley, Eye for an Eye stems from an original screenplay by Elisa Victoria. The 2025 horror feature places a grieving city girl in a gulf coast town, merging drama with supernatural dread. Whitney Peak stars as Anna.

The film leans on mood and character tension rather than jump scares. It asks how grief can isolate a person and how a small community can pressure someone toward silence and risk. Whitney Peak gives Anna a quiet, stubborn center, while Mr. Sandman reframes danger as a moral burden that lingers after every scene. The tropes are tempered by photography and a Florida heat that feels tangible.

Box office data for Eye for an Eye have not been publicly released, and the film's theatrical footprint remains minimal for a broad audience. The production carries a $10,000,000 budget and the studio anticipated a limited initial run, with expansion hinging on demand and streaming rights. Early pre release buzz centers on Colin Tilley’s direction and Victoria’s original screenplay, as audiences seek a darker coming of age story with supernatural hooks. Without disclosed grosses, the true scale of its commercial impact will depend on later platforms and international sales.
