Brace yourselves, horror fans. This fall, get ready for a sinister dive into pure nightmare fuel. On September 24th, Shout! Studios, teaming up with A Kiss and Tale Productions, Convoke Media, and Pixium Film Group, drops Succubus—a brutal, edge-of-your-seat thriller that’ll have you questioning every dating app swipe. This highly anticipated horror flick will be unleashed across all digital platforms for purchase or rent, with a DVD release on the same day. It’s shaping up to be the horror event of the season, the kind that genre enthusiasts won’t want to miss.
Succubus comes from the twisted mind of R.J. Daniel Hanna, the writer and director behind Hard Miles and Miss Virginia. Hanna assembles a killer cast that includes Brendan Bradley (A Tale Told by an Idiot), Rachel Cook (The Hack Job), Olivia Applegate (Euphoria), Derek Smith (Narcos: Mexico), Emily Kincaid (London Fields), alongside icons Rosanna Arquette (Pulp Fiction) and Ron Perlman (Nightmare Alley).
The plot follows Chris, a young father reeling from a rocky marital separation, who—thanks to a little nudging from his oversexed buddy Eddie—dips his toes into the treacherous waters of online dating. He downloads the StarCrossed app “just to see what’s out there,” but instead of harmless flings, he matches with Adra, a dangerously seductive woman with a dark and enigmatic past. Chris quickly finds himself caught in Adra’s web, as his life spirals into chaos, haunted by her unsettling power.
With Chris, Eddie, and Adra’s stalker Dr. Zephyr circling around her, Adra’s true nature is unveiled, and trust us—it’s nothing short of terrifying. Hanna blends seduction, suspense, and a creeping dread that builds to a gut-punch reveal, making Succubus the perfect addition to any horror buff’s collection.
Produced by Todd Slater, Anna Elizabeth James, Ari Novak, Ron Perlman, and Hanna himself, Succubus is a must-watch thriller that promises to keep you on edge long after the credits roll. Ready for a nightmare disguised as a love story? Mark your calendars. September 24th, it all begins.
