About the film:

Coyotes is a horror-comedy about the Stewart family—Scott, Liv, and their daughter Chloe—whose holiday evening in their Hollywood Hills home spirals into a nightmare. A ferocious wildfire is fast approaching, knocking out power and cutting off escape routes. As flames close in, a pack of intelligent, hostile coyotes, led by a scar-faced alpha, begins to circle the house. Trapped between disaster and predators, the family must fight for their lives using anything they can find—from flashlights to old iPads—while battling fear, chaos, and the unexpected threats that nature delivers.

The film blends suspense, dark humor, and survival horror, starring Justin Long and Kate Bosworth. Coyotes had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest on September 20, 2025.
