“This is not a movie you see. This is a movie you survive! You have been warned!“

So claims the tagline for Traumatika, the sophomore feature from director Pierre Tsigaridis (Two Witches). Based on the trailer below, released today by Saban Films, I’m inclined to believe it.

Written by Tsigaridis and Maxime Rancon, Traumatika follows “A young boy (whose) night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.”

Check out the trailer below:

Dear reader, I have chills from watching this trailer. I’m about as seasoned a horror fan as it gets, and I have to admit, this film appears truly nightmarish. Especially considering the fact that it all seems to be from the point of view of a small child experiencing the...

The trailer for Traumatika warns that it’s not a movie you see — it’s a movie you survive.

The supernatural horror film possesses theaters on September 12 from Saban Films.

A young boy’s night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.

Pierre Tsigaridis directs from a script co-wrote with Maxime Rançon. The pair previously collaborated on Two Witches.

Rebekah Kennedy (Two Witches), Emily Goss (The House on Pine Street), Ranen Navat, Aj Bowen (You’re Next), Sean O’Bryan, Susan Gayle Watts (Olympus Has Fallen), and Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) star.

“It’s hard to prepare yourself for the highly disturbing film that Pierre and Maxime have created. They are truly mad genius storytellers,” said Saban co-presidents Jonathan Saba and Shanan Becker.

2025 has been a remarkable year for horror, from original titles like Sinners to legacy sequels like 28 Years Later and, most recently, the body horror Together. If you ask Saban Films, however, the most terrifying feature has yet to make its entrance. Premiering in theaters on September 12, Traumatika promises a chilling new spin on possession horror that goes to dark and deeply disturbing places, creating trauma for its characters that spans generations and maintains a curse that claims countless lives over time. As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event for fall movies, we can exclusively share a new image from the film that shows a young boy locked in terror as he stares into the shadows. His life will be forever changed by the horror he'll witness when a malevolent entity worms its way into his family.

Traumatika follows Mikey, played by Ranen Navat, who looks to add to...

When it comes to horror movies, there are a lot of films that promise to be so scary that after viewing them you'll never be the same again. 99.9% of the time, that's all just marketing propaganda meant to entice viewers into the theater. There hasn't been a truly terrifying horror movie in a long time, but all that could change thanks to Traumatika, a hidden gem that's set to premiere in September that's already getting rave reviews.

Like a million other horror movies before it, Traumatika touts itself as one of the scariest movies ever made. It doesn't just stop there, however, as the new teaser for the film (seen below) boasts that the movie is so intense that fans can't even handle a whole trailer. Instead, we're treated to several review quotes that label the movie as "a nonstop onslaught of terror," "violent, angry, and unafraid," and a film that "claws at your throat.

New demonic horror movie Traumatika is so intense that a full trailer can’t be shown at all, the brief new teaser warns today.

Saban Films releases the unrated demonic horror movie in theaters on September 12, 2025.

Although it's not due out for another couple of months, Saban Films is already preparing viewers for what could be the most disturbing horror film of the year — Traumatika. Throughout the entire week, chilling new posters have been dropping for what's been dubbed the "5 Days of Trauma," an event hyping the deeply haunting new movie and all culminating in today's new key art, which brings fans face-to-face with evil incarnate. Collider is excited to cap off the promotional event by exclusively sharing the final poster of a demonic being with burning orange eyes peering through clawed hands and bearing gnarled teeth. It's a taste of the gritty, sinister air of director Pierre Tsigaridis's latest feature before the curtain is pulled back with the first teaser next week.

Traumatika has been described as a genre-bending nightmare mixing the scares of possession horror, slashers, and beyond as it fittingly explores the nature of trauma across generations.

Saban Films has acquired the North American rights to the “off-the-wall” horror film Traumatika for a theatrical release later this year.

Mikey’s night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.

Pierre Tsigaridis (Two Witches) directs from a script he co-wrote with producer Maxime Rancon (Two Witches).

“Traumatika is not a movie you see – it’s a movie you experience. And there’s no better way to experience it than on the big screen,” said Saban co-presidents Jonathan Saba and Shanan Becker. “It’s hard to prepare yourself for the highly disturbing film that Pierre and Maxime have created.

“Traumatika,’ an experimental and visually bold new horror film, has sold to Saban Films for North American distribution.

The project hails from co-writer and director Pierre Tsigaridis (“Two Witches”) and co-writer and producer Maxime Rancon. Saban is plotting a theatrical release for 2025. Rancon also serves as executive producer.

“Traumatika” played Australia’s FrightFest and others on the indie horror circuit, earning positive early reviews for genre-blending and featuring multiple points-of-view in a terrorizing tapestry of scenes. The film follows Mikey, whose night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.

Good shows have a way of setting you up to consistently want more. Netflix's hit legal drama, The Lincoln Lawyer, is consistent with that and its third season finale did exactly that. Cruising down the streets of Los Angeles with the wind in his face, Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) is celebrating victory in yet another tough case, and this time he intends to take a vacation. But when a police officer pulls him over for a missing license plate, the body of his client Sam Scales (Christopher Thornton) is found in the trunk. Season 4 has already begun filming in Los Angeles in February and the sixth book in Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series, The Law of Innocence, will be adapted. However, there is one character who might not return for Season 4.

Today at Grimmfest, the much-anticipated Northern UK Premiere of Traumatika is set to leave audiences breathless. Directed by Pierre Tsigaridis and starring Rebekah Kennedy, this chilling film isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s a psychological deep dive into trauma, possession, and the kind of familial horror that leaves scars across generations. Crafted with a love for the horror genre’s darkest aspects, Traumatika melds elements of slasher, giallo, and true crime with a sharp twist on found footage, creating an experience that is unsettling, brutal, yet profoundly captivating.

Having previously stunned audiences with Two Witches, Tsigaridis once again collaborates with producer Maxime Rancon to deliver a terrifying spectacle. Traumatika stands out as a visceral love letter to horror in all its forms, mixing found footage, first-person storytelling, and Satanic Panic vibes with an all-star cast. Employing multiple points of view and exploring cursed artifacts, demonic possession, and a harrowing true crime narrative,...

Stars: Susan Gayle-Watts, Ranen Navat, Aj Bowen, Sean O’Bryan, Emily Goss, Rebekah Kennedy | Written and Directed by Pierre Tsigaridis

From the off, Pierre Tsigaridis’ sophomore film, Traumatika, promises its audience an exploration of the various sub-types of childhood trauma, focusing on emotional, physical, and sexual abuse alongside a gratuitous amount of violence.

The story is told non-linearly, starting in present-day L.A. We are introduced to Jennifer Novac’s (Susan Gayle-Watts) highly exploitative – verging on evil – true crime show intent on exploring a spate of child murders that occurred in 2003 in Pasadena, California. But, before we get there, the audience is transported back further in time to the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, when a lone wanderer buries a mysterious artefact only to then commit suicide after being plagued by visions of his child’s death at the hands of the demon Volpaazu.

93 years later, and we shift to a young Mikey’s (Ranen Navat) bedroom.

Traumatika is the latest film from Pierre Tsigaridis and Maxime Rancon, the creators of 2021’s well received Two Witches. Its premiere at this years FrightFest has garnered a good buzz, especially with what the creators have done before so it is with much anticipation that this film arrives.

The trauma that is indicated in the film’s title is the beating heart of this horrific tale of possession and murder. The drama unfolds over multiple timelines and is a thrilling watch, with a decent amount of unsettling tension throughout the movie’s duration.

The film begins, after a bit of important backstory, with the ordeal of a young boy named Mikey, who is in the thrall of his demonically possessed mother. This leads into a whole host of murder, mayhem and unravelling secrets as the film moves on at a rapid pace. This fast pace amplifies the traumatic horror tremendously,...

Sometimes, life socks. Known to horror fans for his role in Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs, Sean Whalen is back with a brand new horror-comedy titled Crust.

Whalen directed and stars in Crust, which centers on a sock monster. In the black & white film, “A has-been child actor and owner of a dingy laundromat becomes powerfully vengeful when his collection of lone socks transforms into a murderous monster named Crust.”

Here’s the full official plot synopsis…

"Hope I didn't wake the others..." "The others...?? There's nobody around for acres..." FilmFrontier Studios has unveiled an official festival trailer for an indie film titled The Veil, now playing on the festival circuit. Written & directed & produced by Cameron Beyl, this just premiered in his hometown of Portland at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival earlier this month. Not to be confused with the 2016 horror film The Veil with Jessica Alba, or the 2021 Korean spy thriller series The Veil, this one is something else. Redemption gives way to a reckoning when a reclusive retired priest shelters a young Amish runaway in crisis, only to uncover a mystery that ties her presence to a terrifying encounter from his youth– and the bright aurora borealis that rages overhead. The little indie film stars Sean O'Bryan and Rebekah Kennedy. A "genre bending cosmic horror" that definitely seems like a good fit for the H.

Two Witches, the first feature from Pierre Tsigaridis features a pair of somewhat connected tales of modern day witchcraft. These aren’t the witches of Hocus Pocus or Sabrina though, these are the evil, baby eating witches of legend and of films like Suspiria. Something the brief prologue makes quite clear.

The first of Two Witches’ chapters “The Boogeywoman” begins with the pregnant Sarah out to dinner with her partner Simon (Ian Michaels; Easy Targets) when she sees a white eyed old crone staring at her through the restaurant window. She begins having hallucinations and experiencing strange phenomena which she blames on the woman.

Simon, who is skeptical and blames it on hormones, takes her to see his friend Dustin.and his girlfriend Melissa (Dina...

Happy October, witches!!!!! Time for stories of ghosts, ghouls, creepy crawlies, and scary women who have made pacts with the devil. To celebrate, Arrow Films is releasing the first feature from writer-director Pierre Tsigaridis - Two Witches.

The film is a pair of loosely connected stories - sort of a mini-anthology. The connecting tissue is the passing of dark powers from one aging woman to her young granddaughter. The older woman governs the events of the first story, while the younger witch takes the mantle and starts wreaking havoc in the second.

The film opens with a young couple trying to enjoy a night out. Sarah (Belle Adams) has recently discovered that she is pregnant. Her partner Simon (Ian Michaels), though enthused, is not the most sensitive person in the world, and honestly, is kind of more than any pregnant woman should have to deal with. Not long into the meal,...

Witches don’t die before leaving their legacy.

Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive look at a clip from Two Witches, the feature debut from Pierre Tsigaridis that’s now on Arrow and will be on Blu-ray and DVD on October 17th.

In the film, a matriarchal witch passes on her sinister inheritance to her granddaughter, triggering horrific curses.

“A delirious mix of Rosemary’s Baby, Hereditary and Drag Me to Hell – the film features two witch stories interlinked by the incredible Rebekah Kennedy (To the Bone), here the spitting image of genre icon Lynn Lowry, a troubled woman with a dark secret. Also starring Kristina Klebe (Halloween), Tim Fox (Westworld) and Belle Adams (Perry Mason), the film’s a wild ride of ouija boards, witches and very weird roommates.”

The film held its international premiere at the Sitges Film Festival and also played Salem Horror Fest.

Killed in an attempt to rob a pawn shop, a robbery that ended in the death of shop owner (Veronica Cartwright), Jimmy wakes up to find himself in a dimly lit office face to face with prosecutor Balthazar (Lucian Charles Collier), who is tasked with trying Jimmy for his crimes. About to sign a confession of his crimes, Jimmy (Lew Temple) is interrupted by his defence attorney Cassiel (Scottie Thompson) – who announces she wants Jimmy to receive a full pardon…

So far so crime drama, Only it turns out that this office is any but an office. Instead it is limbo, the place between heaven and hell and Cassiel and Balthazar are actually battling for Jimmy’s soul. Cassiel’s task?...

"There is no way that this low life's getting into Heaven whilst I'm stuck here." Uncork'd Ent. has released an official trailer for an indie horror comedy called Limbo, the latest from indie filmmaker Mark Young. The high concept, low budget film is about a murderer who dies and finds himself on trial in Hell, caught between a bitter prosecutor and an inexperienced defense attorney. The entire setup is based around being in "limbo" with a colorful cast of characters. James Purefoy stars a Lucifer, with Lucian Charles Collier as Balthazar, plus Veronica Cartwright, Rebekah Kennedy, Scottie Thompson, Peter Jacobson, Lauryn Canny, Richard Riehle, and Lew Temple. This look that bad, but doesn't look that good either. Here's the first official trailer (+ new poster) for Mark Young's Limbo, direct from YouTube: A murderer named Jimmy (Lew Temple) finds himself on trial in Hell, caught between a bitter prosecutor and an inexperienced defense attorney.

Grey's Anatomy may have wrapped up its sixteenth season early, but spin-off series Station 19 is still chugging along.

The two shows, however, share a universe, meaning that Grey's Anatomy characters work with people from Station 19, and vice-versa.

ABC has dropped a new trailer for Station 19 Season 3 Episode 15, and it shows an armed woman causing trouble after an incident.

In a twist of fate, Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) is in the ambulance trying to operate on a patient, and Ben (Jason George) is also present.

As the clip plays out, gunshots ring out at the conclusion, while Bailey is seen in Grey Sloan Memorial realizing that something is amiss.

Perhaps it's because the ambulance doesn't show up when it should.

If you watch Grey's Anatomy online, you know Bailey has suffered a lot of heartache of late, so killing off her husband would be cruel.

Heck, even killing Jackson would be cruel.

Exclusive: Selma Blair and Graham Greene are attached to star in the horror thriller, The Great Illusion, along with Glenn Morshower, Tokala Black Elk (Wind River), Jon Lindstrom (True Detective), Kenzie Dalton (FX’s Feud), and newcomer Oscar Cardenas. Cardenas co-wrote the film with daughter Maria Gabriela Cardenas, who will direct the pic as her feature debut.

The plot follows a tortured FBI agent suffering from an irrational fear of darkness, as he investigates a mysterious former prostitute in order to catch a vicious serial killer.

Amy Williams (Mothers and Daughters) is producing the project, which also co-stars Trisha Rae Stahl (Fox’s Glee), Rebekah Kennedy (Netflix’s To the Bone), Jaime Gallagher (Know Your Enemy), Bella Shaw, Rob Evors (Project X), as well as Monte Markham (We Are Still Here) and Beverly Todd (The Bucket List). Filming is slated to begin next month in Los Angeles.

At a residence Mary is caring for many sick and ailing guests, including the young Amy. Delivering refreshments to relieve her guests during the Summer heat Mary warns Amy not to venture from her room at night lest she disturb the other guests. Wracked with pain Amy ignores the warning and leaves her room and discovers that her host has been keeping a dark and deadly secret from her guests. L Gustavo Cooper’s Amy is an exercise in style and mood and I found many things to like within it. I like the setting and the lighting. The ambient sound and music are rich. Rebekah Kennedy delivers a painful and tortured performance as Amy. Her physical performance is great. The way she rolls over...
