When Margot and her husband Dieter decide to spend the night in the run-down castle she has inherited from her wealthy family, their relationship and their sanity are put to the test. As time and space begin to shift around them, a reality that only exists within the walls of the eerie building is exposed.

Horrific, hallucinatory, and harrowing, DAWN BREAKS BEHIND THE EYES is a trippy descent into an entirely new dimension where both everything and nothing is quite as it seems.

“A TECHNICAL MASTERPIECE MADE EVEN RICHER BY A COMPELLING NARRATIVE.”
– THE HOLLYWOOD NEWS

“A GORGEOUS, ETHEREAL MOVIE FULL OF SURPRISING TWISTS. ”
– BLOODY DISGUSTING

“IT’S STUNNING TO LOOK AT, UTTERLY CAPTIVATING TO WATCH, AND BEAUTIFULLY PACED.”
– /FILM

“LITERALLY DESTROYS THE RULEBOOK BOTH IN TERMS OF THE NARRATIVE AND FILM IN GENERAL. I’M SURE EVEN DARIO ARGENTO HIMSELF IS WATCHING THIS IN ENVY.”
– BLOODGUTS UK

“A MIND-BENDER OF A MOVIE THAT FAIRLY DRIPS EERIE ATMOSPHERE. (…) THE MISE EN SCÈNE IS STUNNING. THE CAST IS TERRIFIC. AFICIONADOS OF ARTHOUSE FEAR FARE SHOULD GET A REAL KICK OUT OF DAWN BREAKS BEHIND THE EYES.”
