Anthony Hopkins and Bill Skarsgard from Locked

Bill Skarsgard, the king of thrills and creepy roles, returned with another intense drama, Locked, earlier this year. The 35-year-old actor is widely known for his roles as Pennywise, the horrific clown in the IT film franchise and the deadly vampire in Nosferatu. However, his recent release Locked slipped under the radar during its theatrical release, but now has come into the spotlight again with its digital debut on Lionsgate Play in September.

When to watch Locked on Lionsgate Play?

The latest survival thriller is releasing on Lionsgate Play and OTTplay Premium on September 5, 2025. Locked will be available in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages for Indian viewers. Bill Skarsgard and Anthony Hopkins star in the film, helmed by David Yarovesky.

What's the plot of Locked?

Bill Skarsgard and Anthony Hopkins are seen head-to-head in a thrilling game of claustrophobia. Skarsgard as Eddie is a small-time thief who decides to steal an SUV, which is quite an easy take for him. Little does he know that he's about to get locked inside the car. Hopkins, as the SUV owner William, arrives on the scene and shows off his evil side. The interesting part about the SUV is that it is not just a vehicle, it's a super-advanced, inescapable torture chamber, complete with bulletproof windows and a soundproof interior, so no one can hear Eddie scream.

The film Locked is not all about suspense, though. It's also packed with dark comedy. The character William is a former doctor who uses his control over the car to mess with Eddie in the most bizarre ways. Instead of just a typical torture scene, William forces his victim to endure strange and horrific punishments with super loud music, and trying to outsmart a sadistic genius. That's the kind of wild ride you can expect from the survival thriller.
