If the fall doesn’t kill you… he will. After playing on the film festival circuit to acclaim, gory survival horror movie Pitfall is coming to theaters nationwide on May 29, 2026, and Bloody Disgusting is premiering the very first exclusive look at the official theatrical trailer.
Based on a story by director James Kondelik (Behind The Walls) and a screenplay by Canadian writer Victor Rose, Pitfall made its debut at Los Angeles’ Screamfest Film Festival in October 2025, earning praise from critics, who said it was “one of the major highlights” of the festival’s 25th year. The film was produced by Wai Sun Cheng and Alex Bogolomov for Vancouver-based production Pandapix Pictures in partnership with Dragon Bear Pictures.
In Pitfall, a young man becomes separated from his friends in the woods and plunges into a ten-foot pit lined with spikes, impaling his leg and leaving him helpless. As reality sinks in and his situation grows dire, he realizes the fall wasn’t an accident.
Collider calls Pitfall “thrilling, crowd-pleasing survival horror.” The outlet raves that the film “effectively combines the thrills of Friday the 13th with the survival suspense of 127 Hours.”
“The violence is intense, gory, and brutal,” writes Cinema Crazed.
The film stars Richard Harmon (Final Destination: Bloodlines), Alexandra Essoe (The Pope’s Exorcist), and UFC champion Randy Couture (The Expendables) as the ruthless killer who stalks his prey in the woods. Marshall Williams (The Ice Road), Jordan Claire Robbins (The Umbrella Academy), and Matt Hamilton (Murder for Sale) also star.
Pitfall opens theatrically on May 29, 2026 nationwide.
