Bella Poarch is officially stepping into the acting world—and she’s doing it in a genre that promises thrills, chills, and maybe a few secrets revealed by midnight.
The 28-year-old TikTok star is set to make her feature film debut in Six Till Midnight, a new horror film directed by Andrew Donoho. Known for his visually striking music videos for artists like Janelle Monáe, Paul McCartney, Twenty One Pilots—and even Bella herself—this marks Donoho’s first foray into feature filmmaking.
According to Variety, Bella will star alongside American Honey and Loki actress Sasha Lane, leading a cast that includes Carter Jenkins, Nicole Maines, Devin Druid, Assaf Cohen, Tyler Hardwick, and Trang-Anh Dong.
So, what’s the film about? The official synopsis reads: The movie “follows six strangers lured into a cryptic online game show run by the anonymous ‘Host’ who knows their darkest secrets. If they uncover their hidden connection before midnight, they’ll win the prize of a lifetime. Fail, and they won’t make it out alive.”
The premise taps into our collective obsession with digital life and the terrifying idea of having our private truths exposed for entertainment.
Six Till Midnight will be the first film released under a new slate deal between director Timur Bekmambetov’s Bazelevs production company and ZQ. If Bekmambetov’s name rings a bell, it’s because he’s the visionary behind the “Screenlife” format—films that play out entirely on screens. You’ve probably seen his work in Unfriended, Searching, Missing, and LifeHack, all of which made waves for their fresh approach to storytelling in the digital age.
With Six Till Midnight, that same Screenlife style is expected to bring the horror to life in a tense, immersive way that mirrors how we actually live—and fear—today.
Bella’s casting marks a major step forward in her career, transitioning from viral stardom to the silver screen. Known for her record-breaking TikToks and musical success with songs like “Build a B*tch,” Bella has always had an eye for visual storytelling. Now, she’s about to show audiences what she can do in front of the camera in a whole new way.
While Bella hasn’t commented yet on the role, fans are already hyped to see what she brings to the horror genre. She’s built a following by being unapologetically herself—quirky, stylish, and sometimes darkly funny—which just might make her the perfect lead for a film where secrets and survival go hand in hand.
No release date has been announced yet, but Six Till Midnight is definitely one to watch. With a killer concept, a stacked cast, and Bella Poarch’s acting debut, this is a midnight deadline horror fans won’t want to miss.
