The psychological thriller The Man in My Basement, starring Corey Hawkins and Willem Dafoe, is slated for release in theaters and on Hulu in Fall 2025. The film is directed by Nadia Latif and based on the novel of the same name by acclaimed author Walter Mosley.

Set in Sag Harbor, New York, the story follows Charles Blakey (Hawkins), an out-of-work man facing foreclosure on his family home. A mysterious offer from a wealthy businessman, Anniston Bennet (Dafoe), to rent his basement for the summer sets off a disturbing psychological and moral spiral.

The cast also includes Anna Diop, Jonathan Ajayi, Gershwyn Eustache Jnr., Pamela Nomvete, and Tamara Lawrance. The screenplay was written by Mosley and Latif, with production by Diane Houslin, John Giwa-Amu, Dave Bishop, and Len Rowlands.

The Man in My Basement is presented by Andscape and is positioned as a genre-driven exploration of race, trauma, and moral ambiguity. A teaser and first-look images were released ahead of its upcoming fall debut.
