From the producers of THE HATCHLING comes NIGHTFALL, an all-new dinosaur horror short film that blends heart-pounding suspense with breathtaking visual effects, delivering the scale and emotion of a true cinematic experience that transports you to a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist.

 

When a broken family reunites at a remote outpost, an innocent visit becomes a night of primal terror. As darkness falls across the wilds, something ancient awakens — and the arrival of Vasquez (Michael Cruz, Sabrina Carpenter: Please Please Please) unearths buried secrets that force Callum (Trey Shields) and Devin (Anthony Feliciano, Jurassic World) into a desperate race to save their daughter (Clementine Benstock) from the world’s deadliest dinosaurs.

 

As the second installment in the Pine Ridge Anthology, Nightfall expands the world of The Hatchling with new characters and terrifying Jurassic-to-Cretaceous creatures, created by indie filmmakers Anthony Feliciano, Chris Pugh, and Amber Bellomio.

 

Featuring cinematography by Harrison Kraft, a chilling score by Kurt Tomlinson, cutting-edge VFX led by Amber Bellomio, and creature designs by Fred Wierum, the film pushes indie horror to new heights as it plunges audiences into a desperate fight for survival where escaping the night means confronting the past.
