Brainstorm Media has released a new look at Sleepwalker, the upcoming thriller directed and written by Brandon Auman. The film arrives in select theaters and on demand January 9, 2026, bringing a cast led by Hayden Panettiere, Beverly D’Angelo, and Justin Chatwin.
Produced by Verdi Productions and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, Sleepwalker centers on Sarah, a young woman whose sleepwalking episodes begin to escalate. What starts as a recurring nocturnal disturbance grows into a waking nightmare as her visions intensify and her grasp on reality becomes increasingly uncertain.
The newly released materials highlight Panettiere’s return to genre storytelling, placing her at the center of a narrative built around fear, memory, and the blurred line between consciousness and dreaming. With Auman at the helm, the film aims to explore psychological tension through a character-driven lens.
Sleepwalker will be available both in theaters and via VOD January 9, 2026
