'Opus' Digital Release Date

A24 has released their psychological thriller OPUS on digital platforms, which arrived on April 1st, 2025. The film is now available on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) services for rental and purchase, following its premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and theatrical run that began on March 14th, 2025.

Opus marks the feature directorial debut of Mark Anthony Green, who also wrote the screenplay. The film delves into the dark underbelly of celebrity culture through a psychological thriller lens, creating an atmosphere of mounting dread and uncertainty.

Rising star Ayo Edebiri delivers a captivating performance as a young writer who receives what appears to be the opportunity of a lifetime – an invitation to the remote desert compound of legendary pop star Alfred Moretti. John Malkovich embodies the enigmatic Moretti with his signature intensity, portraying a musical genius who mysteriously disappeared from public view thirty years ago. The stellar supporting cast includes Juliette Lewis, Murray Bartlett, and Melissa Chambers, each adding layers to the film's unsettling environment.

As the narrative unfolds, Edebiri's character finds herself surrounded by Moretti's cult-like entourage of sycophants and a group of intoxicated journalists also invited to the compound. What begins as a professional assignment gradually transforms into a psychological nightmare as she uncovers the pop icon's disturbing plans for the gathering. The isolated setting becomes increasingly claustrophobic as the true nature of the invitation is revealed.

Critics have particularly praised the performances of Edebiri and Malkovich, whose on-screen dynamic creates a fascinating power struggle. While reviews have been mixed overall (the film currently holds a 5.7/10 rating on IMDb and a 42 Metascore), many have highlighted the film's eerie atmosphere and thought-provoking exploration of fame's corrupting influence. The desert compound setting serves as both a visual spectacle and a metaphor for the isolation of celebrity.

Opus is now available for purchase and rental on major digital platforms including Apple, Amazon, and Fandango at Home, with prices starting at $9.99. For more upcoming psychological thrillers, visit our April 2025 digital release calendar.
