What if the people you trusted most suddenly became too nice—and you were the only one who realized something was terribly wrong?
That’s the unsettling premise behind THE NICE ONES, a new psychological horror-thriller from British writer-director Peter Stylianou, arriving On Demand September 29th, 2026 from Level 33 Entertainment.

The film follows Kate, who joins her boyfriend and his friends for a remote countryside retreat. When strange lights begin appearing in the sky, the group’s dynamic starts to shift. One by one, they become eerily calm, agreeable and almost unnaturally kind. As Kate grows increasingly convinced that something has happened to them, she finds herself dismissed as unstable—leaving her to question whether she is losing her grip on reality or is the only person seeing the truth.
Blending psychological paranoia with sci-fi and supernatural horror, THE NICE ONES plays with a particularly disturbing idea: what if evil didn’t look threatening at all, but instead presented itself as benevolent, enlightened and good?
