Brick OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Matthias Schweighöfer and Ruby O. Fee's horror thriller film
Brick OTT Release Date: Imagine waking up one day and finding your entire apartment building sealed off by a strange brick wall - no way out, no answers, and rising panic. This is the chilling setup of Brick, Netflix's upcoming German horror-thriller starring Matthias Schweighöfer (Army of Thieves, The Breakup Man) and Ruby O. Fee
(Polar, The Invisibles), set to premiere globally on Netflix on July 10, 2025.
A simple apartment turns into a nightmare
Brick follows the story of Tim Arnovsky (played by Schweighöfer) and Olivia Neill (played by Ruby O. Fee), a couple living an ordinary life until the day their apartment building becomes trapped by a mysterious, impenetrable brick wall. With no explanation and nowhere to run, they're forced to join hands with their neighbours to try and make sense of the bizarre situation and escape.
The plot is tense, eerie, and layered with suspense. As fear sets in and trust begins to crumble among the residents, the film explores themes of isolation, human instinct, and survival.
Meet the cast and crew of Brick
The man behind Brick is Philip Koch, known for his previous work on Netflix's Tribes of Europa and Sixty Minutes. Brick is his third Netflix Original project, and he not only wrote and directed it but also co-produced the film. According to Koch, the film is designed to be 'a psychological pressure cooker,' exploring how quickly normal people can unravel under extreme conditions.
Other than Matthias as Tim and Ruby O. Fee as Olivia,
the film also stars Frederick Lau (Victoria, The Wave) as Gael, Salber Lee Williams (Ghost Island) as Ana, Sira-Anna Faal (Druck) as Lea, Murathan Muslu (Cracks in Concrete) as Yuri, Alexander Beyer (Good Bye Lenin!) as Friedman, Axel Werner as Oswalt and Josef Berousek among others.
Alexander Fischerkoesen has cinematographed it alongside Anna Drubich, composing the haunting score, and Theresia Anna Ficus managing the production. Brick is produced by Philip Koch, Quirin Berg, Max Wiedemann, Benjamin Munz, and Katrin Götter. It's backed by Nocturna Productions and W&B Television, with casting done by Iris Baumüller.
