Writer, director and editor SJ Creazzo has announced the release of 'Dark Reckoning', a psychological thriller that examines the crushing weight of guilt, survival, redemption and moral consequence.

Starring Kristanna Loken and Martin Kove, 'Dark Reckoning' delivers a tense, emotionally charged experience driven by powerful performances, stark atmosphere and a deeply personal story of reckoning. The film further establishes Creazzo’s voice as a filmmaker drawn to character-driven suspense, moral complexity and psychologically intense storytelling.

Set against an unforgiving emotional landscape, the film explores what happens when buried trauma, impossible choices and the past itself refuse to stay hidden, building toward a powerful confrontation between memory, guilt and consequence. It co-stars Gabrielle Kalomiris, Tom Malloy, Sophia VanDette, Courtney Warner, Jesse Kove and Paola Paulin, and is produced by Jeremy Gardner, Tom Malloy, Brock Pierce, John Przybylinski, Charlie Shrem, Brandon Goldman and Shawn Michael.

“'Dark Reckoning' is a film about the things we carry, the choices we can’t outrun, and the moment when the past finally demands an answer,” Creazzo said. “I wanted to create a psychological drama that feels intimate, intense and emotionally honest — a story where every silence has weight and every decision leaves a scar.”

“StudioDome continues to champion character-driven thrillers that blend psychological depth with survival tension,” added StudioDome COO Tom Malloy. “Kristanna Loken and Martin Kove deliver performances that anchor this intense exploration of trauma, guilt and resilience.”

Distribution is being handled by StudioDome.
