New Thriller "Locked" Sparks Buzz with Bill Skarsgård's Intense Performance

LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2025 — Anticipation is mounting for the psychological thriller "Locked," set to hit theaters on March 21, 2025. The film stars Bill Skarsgård in a riveting lead role as a young carjacker who becomes ensnared inside a heavily modified vehicle, held captive by a mysterious sociopath.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Sandberg, "Locked" plunges audiences into a tense narrative where survival and morality collide. Skarsgård's character, a seasoned thief, is forced to confront the consequences of his criminal lifestyle as he battles both his captor and his own conscience. The claustrophobic setting and escalating mind games promise a gripping cinematic experience.

Early reactions from select critics have been largely positive, with many praising Skarsgård's intense performance and the film’s taut pacing. Reviewers highlight the movie’s ability to maintain suspense throughout, though some advise audiences to expect a straightforward, character-driven thriller rather than a complex mystery.

A spoiler-free promotional video, released earlier this week, has further fueled excitement online, with fans lauding the film’s atmospheric visuals and chilling tone. Social media buzz suggests "Locked" could be one of the standout thrillers of 2025.

"Locked" is produced by Thunder Road Films and will be distributed worldwide. Tickets are expected to go on sale in early March.
