Night Comes Photo: Dafne Keen Leads Horror Movie From Suicide Squad’s Jay Hernandez

The first official photo for the upcoming survival horror thriller movie Night Comes has been revealed. It provides the audiences with a first look at Dafne Keen and Samatha Lorraine, who are expected to play sisters.

This marks Keen’s first movie project, following her successful return as Laura/X-23 in Marvel Studios‘ Deadpool & Wolverine, which is currently the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. The young star also recently appeared as a Padawan in the Star Wars series The Acolyte. Besides Night Comes, she will also next be seen in Corin Hardy’s next horror movie Whistle with Yellowjackets’ Sophie Nelisse and Shaun of the Dead’s Nick Frost.

What is Night Comes about?

“The film unfolds against the backdrop of a cataclysmic event that threatens to engulf humanity,” reads the official synopsis (via Variety). “Two sisters manage to escape the horror only to find themselves thrust into a perilous struggle for survival, tasked with a mission that holds the fate of mankind in the balance.”

Inspired by Birdbox and The Descent, Night Comes is directed by Suicide Squad actor Jay Hernandez from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jason Bourque and Nancy Isaak. This marks Hernandez’s feature directorial debut. Besides Keen and Lorraine, The Hunger Games vet Alexander Ludwig is also set to appear in the movie. It is produced by Shaun Redick, Yvette Yates Redick, Jacky Lai, and Jayce Barreiro, with Hernandez, Keen, Jared Zhang, Graem Luis and Jason Bourque set as executive producers. The project hails from Big Picture Cinema, The Exchange and Impossible Dream Entertainment.
