A desperate night drive turns into a fight for survival in Delivery Run, a tense new horror starring Alexander Arnold and arriving on UK digital platforms on 6 October 2025 through Plaion Pictures. Directed and co-written by Joey Palmroos, the film made waves at Grimmfest 2024 and is already earning praise for its mix of brutal tension and sly humour. Horror Fuel calls Arnold "terrific as a likeable loser we can't help but cheer for," while Screen Sphere hails it as "a bloody and fun rollercoaster of a horror film" that delivers both thrills and a few dark laughs.
The story follows Lee, a down-on-his-luck delivery driver with gambling debts and dangerous enemies closing in. Played with weary charm and raw energy by Arnold, Lee takes on a late-night shift in the icy backroads of Minnesota, hoping to scrape together the money he needs. But a seemingly minor road-rage encounter with a menacing snow plough spirals into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase. What begins as petty intimidation turns into a relentless pursuit across frozen rivers, deserted truck stops and endless winter highways, with each turn tightening the grip of danger.
Armed with nothing more than his battered car, a dying phone and a stubborn will to survive, Lee must outwit a relentless driver who seems intent on grinding him into the snow. The result is a nerve-shredding road-trip from hell that blends survival horror with the adrenaline rush of a high-speed thriller. With strong performances from Liam James Collins, Arthur Sylense, Jussi Lampi and Nadine Higgin rounding out the cast, Delivery Run promises a sharp, chilling ride that keeps its foot on the accelerator right to the final frame.
