Dream Eater is a 2025 Canadian horror film directed by Alex Lee Williams, Mallory Drumm, and Jay Drakulic. Shot with a found-footage sensibility, it traps a couple at a remote woodland cabin where one partner's escalating parasomnia becomes the lens through which something deeply unsettling is observed and recorded.

What is Dream Eater about?

A young filmmaker brings a camera along on what should be a quiet getaway with her boyfriend. Deep in a forest cabin, far from help, she begins documenting his increasingly alarming episodes of violent sleepwalking. Night after night the incidents grow worse — more disorienting, more physical. At first she looks for rational explanations: stress, sleep deprivation, isolation. But the footage she collects starts to suggest that whatever is pulling him out of bed in the darkness may not be rooted in any medical condition she recognises. The film unfolds in real-time documents, clips, and confrontations as she tries to understand — and survive — what is happening to the person beside her.

Cast & crew

The film is co-directed by and stars Alex Lee Williams and Mallory Drumm, who pull double duty in front of and behind the camera — a choice that gives the footage an intimate, unscripted quality. Jay Drakulic rounds out the directing trio and appears on screen alongside David Richard, Dainty Smith, Kelly Williams, Sade Green, and Brittany Drumm, forming a tight ensemble in a production that leans heavily on its small cast.

Context & significance

Canadian genre cinema has long delivered lean, effective horror on modest budgets, and Dream Eater fits that tradition well. For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, found-footage cabin horror carries a particular pull: the isolation setting, the unreliable camera, and the dread of watching someone you love become a stranger are universal anxieties that translate across cultures. The film is available on K-Time with Persian subtitles, so Farsi-speaking audiences can follow every whispered conversation and every chilling revelation without missing detail. At 90 minutes it is a compact sit — one evening, lights off, and the story is complete.

Where & how to watch

Dream Eater is available to stream on K-Time with Persian subtitles. You can watch it on a web browser, on your TV via the K-Time app on your دستگاه, or on your phone — no VPN needed, no geo-blocking, and you can cancel anytime.
