LOS
ANGELES, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Cineverse (NASDAQ: CNVS), a next-gen entertainment studio,
and Bloody Disgusting, its horror division, have announced their
upcoming slate of releases for its streaming service, SCREAMBOX.
This includes December dates for recently-announced acquisitions
Breathing In (2024 Macabro: Mexico City International
Horror Film Festival's Best Film winner) and the cringe-inducing
exorcism horror Deus Irae (an official selection of
the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival).
"SCREAMBOX is stuffing the stockings this holiday season with a
jam-packed slate of brand-new horror movies you won't find anywhere
else," said Brad Miska, VP of Bloody
Disgusting. "We're stacking our lineup with killer movies – from
dark horror films brimming with gore to psychological thrillers
that will twist your brain into a knot, we're here to make sure
your horror fix is satisfied well beyond Halloween."
SCREAMBOX hit an all-time monthly high in minutes consumed in
October, up +26% vs. the prior month, and in 2024 will have
premiered a record 19 originals.
Coming soon to SCREAMBOX include:
- Breathing In (now available) – Set in 1901,
South Africa, a wounded general
seeks refuge in the small home of a woman and her young daughter.
Before long, he'll learn the real reason why they've invited him
and how they've survived on their own for so long. Jaco Bouwer directs this beautifully shot and
tense horror thriller that stars Michele Burgers, Sven Ruygrok and Jamie-Lee Money.
- Deus Irae (premieres December 10) – Follows Father Javier, who lives a
fractured existence, claiming miracles, while he also hunts the
possessed with Bibles, fire, and shotguns. This shockingly nasty
horror film is directed by Pedro
Cristiani, starring Pablo
Ragoni, Gastón Ricaud and Sabrina
Macchi.
- Street Trash (premieres December 27) – In the not-too-distant dystopian
future of South Africa, the
homeless crisis has reached such a critical level that the
government has decided to liquidate the problem literally). It's up
to a ragtag group of individuals to fight back before the entire
population of homeless people is rounded up and liquified. The
hotly anticipated reimagining is directed by celebrated
up-and-coming director Ryan Kruger
(Fried Barry).
- Lizzie Lazarus
(premieres January 14, 2025) – Summer
Solstice, 1990, two strangers carry a corpse through the woods
looking for a mythical zone they believe will bring the dead body
back to life. But what secrets will come back with it? Channeling
Stephen King's "Pet Sematary",
Aviv Rubinstien's twisted
psychological horror film builds to a shocker of a finale everyone
will be talking about.
- #Manhole (premieres January 28, 2025) – Shunsuke Kawamura's life is going great by every
measure from work to his engagement. On the day before his wedding,
his colleagues hold a surprise party for him. On the way home, he
falls into a deep manhole. When he wakes up, it is late at night
and he must struggle to find his way out of the abyss deep below
ground. Director Kazuyoshi Kumakiri
will shock audiences with this always-surprising thriller that will
keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
- Delicate Arch (premieres February 11, 2025) – Horror gets trippy in
Matthew Warren's Delicate Arch. Four
college kids with fracturing relationships take a camping trip to

Devon, #AMFAD, Creeping Death,
Crackcoon, Haunted Ulster Live, Tales From the
