August 2025 – “She dances to be seen. She stops when it’s too late.”

Blumhouse and A24 have dropped the official trailer for Serbian Dancing Lady (2025) — a bone-chilling supernatural horror inspired by the viral urban legend from Eastern Europe. Directed by Julia Ducournau (Titane, Raw), the film marks her English-language horror debut and stars Mia Goth in the leading role as a journalist unraveling the curse behind a mysterious woman seen dancing alone on Serbian streets… before people vanish.

💃 Plot Overview

Eliza Marrin (Mia Goth) is an investigative reporter who travels to Belgrade to explore a series of disturbing videos that have emerged online — all showing a veiled woman dancing erratically in the dead of night. Locals whisper of an old Balkan curse, one that returns every generation, summoning a “Dancing Lady” to mark the next victim.

What begins as a viral obsession quickly spirals into a terrifying descent into folklore, possession, and blood-soaked ritual. As Eliza uncovers the truth behind the legend, she finds herself the target of the dancer’s next haunting performance… and this time, the dance doesn’t stop.

🎥 Trailer Highlights

• Mia Goth watching CCTV footage as the woman dances alone in a dark tunnel, twirling faster and faster until the screen cuts to black.

• A Serbian elder warns in whispers: “She dances for the dead. And when she bows… you run.”

• Final shot: the Serbian Dancing Lady lifts her veil — her face is hollow, mouth stretched in a smile that isn’t hers.
