Vision Films has set the North American VOD release for the feature-length psychological thriller “Beneath The Light,” written and directed by John Baumgartner, for October 14, 2025.
Co-written and produced by Dr. Cindy Davis Seng, a psychiatrist at the Cleveland Clinic, the film was shot entirely on location in and around Lorain, Ohio, featuring the town’s iconic 108-year-old Lorain Lighthouse on Lake Erie. A local red-carpet premiere launched the film at The Palace in Lorain on September 6, and it has already inspired a murder mystery game and novelization.
In “Beneath The Light,” a haunted, isolated lighthouse—only accessible by boat—becomes the battleground for a young repairman. When the surly owner abandons him, his feelings of isolation quickly escalate to terror, forcing him to confront the dark mistakes of his past or risk losing his mind forever.
The film stars Zach Tinker (“The Quarry”), John Pyper-Ferguson (“Suits”), Ana Nicolle Chavez (“The Rookie”), Kieran Sitawi (“The Starling Girl”), and Jennifer Ruth (“Spotlight”).
“Cindy and I set out to create a terrifying thriller rooted in horror, but with a core theme of redemption and healing from trauma not typically associated with the genre,” says Baumgartner. “We’re especially thrilled with the film’s unexpected twist, which ties the mystery together in a way audiences will find surprising and satisfying.”
“Beneath The Light” launches on VOD and cable platforms across the US and Canada on October 14, 2025. A DVD release will follow shortly after at online retailers.
