Locked — a new psychological horror thriller starring Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins — is coming soon to digital streaming.
Locked opened in theaters on March 21. The official summary for Locked reads, “From producer Sam Raimi comes a relentless horror-thriller where luxury becomes deadly. When Eddie (Skarsgård) breaks into a luxury SUV, he steps into a deadly trap set by William (Hopkins), a self-proclaimed vigilante delivering his own brand of twisted justice.
“With no means of escape, Eddie must fight to survive in a ride where escape is an illusion, survival is a nightmare, and justice shifts into high gear.”
Skarsgård most recently starred as Count Orlok in director Robert Eggers’ horror hit Nosferatu, and played Pennywise the Clown in the big-screen adaptation of author Stephen King’s IT and IT Chapter Two.
Double-Oscar winner Hopkins, of course, starred as Dr. Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Red Dragon, and played King Odin in the first three Thor movies.
Locked is estimated to arrive on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, April 22, When to Stream reported. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its streaming reports, the streaming tracker noted that Locked distributor The Avenue Entertainment has announced or confirmed the PVOD release date and it is subject to change.
Prime Video has Locked listed for pre-order for $19.99, which will also be the film’s digital purchase price. Since digital rentals typically run $5 less than purchase prices on PVOD, viewers can expect to rent Locked for $14.99 for a 48-hour period.
Locked will also be available on a variety of digital platforms, including AppleTV and Fandango at Home.
Directed by David Yarovesky, Locked is an English-language remake of the Argentinian 2019 action movie 4×4.
Raimi, of course, directed such horror classics as the Evil Dead trilogy, the blockbuster Spider-Man trilogy and the superhero hit Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Raimi also recently produced the hit Netflix thriller Don’t Move, directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto.
