Overview

• Shudder’s original horror title begins streaming September 19, 2025, following first reviews published on September 18.
• Directed by Brandon Christensen and co-written with Ryan Christensen, the film stars Jessica Clement as Deena and Ryan Robbins as Sheriff Rod Cooper, with a roughly 90-minute runtime.
• Set in the 1980s, the narrative pairs a babysitter’s night of terror with a parallel probe into snuff videocassettes tied to a masked killer known as the Reaper.
• Reviewers praise tight cross-cutting over a single night for sustaining momentum and building tension without bloat.
• Critiques point to relatively restrained on-screen violence for an R-rated slasher and a climax some say feels rushed.
