Him is a 2025 American horror-mystery film directed by Justin Tipping, starring Tyriq Withers alongside Marlon Wayans and Julia Fox. A psychological sports thriller that peels back the gilded image of celebrity culture, revealing the menace lurking beneath worship and ambition.
What is Him about?
Young quarterback Cameron Cade's career hangs by a thread after a severe brain injury sidelines him at the worst possible moment. His fortunes seem to turn when Isaiah White — an eight-time championship legend and cultural icon — extends a personal invitation to train at his secluded private estate. Alongside Isaiah's high-profile influencer wife, the compound feels like paradise. But the closer Cameron gets to his hero, the more unsettling cracks appear in Isaiah's golden exterior. What begins as a dream mentorship gradually warps into something far more disturbing, as Cameron realizes the price of proximity to greatness may be far higher than he bargained for. Tipping keeps the tension coiled tight throughout, refusing to let the audience settle.
Cast & crew
Director Justin Tipping brings a sharp eye for social tension to this project. Tyriq Withers anchors the film as the vulnerable Cameron, while Marlon Wayans plays against type in the role of Isaiah White. Julia Fox brings unnerving polish to the influencer wife, and the ensemble is rounded out by Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, Guapdad 4000, Tierra Whack, and Maurice Greene.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Him offers a pointed look at a very American obsession — the cult of celebrity and the mythology built around sports icons. The film speaks to anyone who has navigated the gap between a hero's public persona and private reality, a dynamic that resonates across cultures. It is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub as well as Persian subtitles, so viewers can engage in whichever language feels most comfortable. The horror-mystery framing also makes it a strong pick for fans of slow-burn psychological thrillers who want something beyond the typical slasher format.
