Time is Not on Her Side: New Thriller ‘GAZER’ Warps Reality and Reels It Back on 16mm

Forget everything you know about time — or at least, try to. Gazer, the eerie, razor-sharp debut from director Ryan J. Sloan, is about to mess with your head in the best way possible. Co-written and co-starring Ariella Mastroianni, this slick psychological mystery just dropped its official trailer, with a cinema release date locked in for 25 July, courtesy of Bulldog Film Distribution.

After a buzzy world premiere at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight and slots at Glasgow and Dublin Film Festivals, Gazer is primed for cult status. The story centres on Frankie, a young single mum navigating life with dyschronometria — a rare condition that scrambles her perception of time. To keep things afloat, she accepts a cryptic job from an even more cryptic woman. Cue a slow spiral into something dark, disorienting, and unshakably tense.

Shot on gorgeous, grainy 16mm, Gazer oozes throwback style. Think the paranoia of Pakula, the icy dread of Polanski, the surreal drift of Lynch — all funneled through a modern, female-led lens.

If you like your thrillers with brains, style, and a side of psychological vertigo, Gazer might just be your next obsession.
