12 Hours in October

12 Hours in October is a drama that follows several characters through the first twelve hours of October 7, 2023, showing their separate experiences of the terror and confusion of that day. The film approaches the events from multiple viewpoints rather than a single perspective, building its story around how different people confront the same unfolding situation.

The film is directed by Danny A. Abeckaser, working from a screenplay by Kosta Kondilopoulos. It is one of two features Abeckaser directed in 2025, arriving after Mob Cops and before The Perfect Gamble, and it continues a run of films he has directed since Mob Town in 2019, including The Engineer and Inside Man in 2023 and Bardejov in 2024. Released on December 19, 2025, the film has drawn a small audience so far: on TMDB it holds a rating of 5.3 out of 10 from 10 votes, a figure that reflects a limited number of viewers rather than a broad consensus.
