If horror-comedy Ghost in the Cell isn’t already on your radar, this ultra-gory exclusive clip that gets creative with its office-set kill should do the trick. Maybe don’t watch while at work, though, as the clip below features an office worker getting brutally dispatched by an unseen assailant.
Ghost in the Cell releases in theaters on October 2, 2026.
The horror comedy is set in “a high-security prison ruled by feuding gangs and a tyrannical warden. The arrival of a new inmate kicks off a series of mysterious, gruesome murders that leave its victims on morbid display. The hapless inmates trapped in the prison must overcome their rivalries to unmask an invisible, otherworldly enemy. No one is safe as the cells cage in the horrors and a ghost roams the prison with murderous intent.”
Joko Anwar (Satan’s Slaves, Impetigore) writes and directs.
Abimana Aryasatya, Almanzo Konoralma, Aming Sugandhi, Arswendy Bening Swara, Bront Palarae, and Dimas Danang Suryonegoro star.
Rob Hunter wrote in his 4-skull review that Ghost in the Cell is “easily Anwar’s best, most fully realized film yet. It’s a genre bender that goes high in its commentary, goes low in its broadly comic silliness, and fills its middle with wet, sticky, beautifully crafted practical effects. As if all of that isn’t enough of a reason to watch, the film also joins the too-short list of movies that feature the cast dancing their asses off during the end credits.“
“We’re thrilled to bring Ghost in the Cell to North America,” said distributor Well Go USA CEO Doris Pfardrescher. “As longtime fans of Joko Anwar, having previously released his film Gundala, we’ve seen firsthand how strongly his work resonates with audiences here. Ghost in the Cell is an absolute blast – it’s wildly entertaining and deliciously gory in all the right ways.”
Get caught up in the film’s gore and violence below, and look for the horror movie in select theaters tomorrow.
