‘Satanic’ Panic Begins In First Imagery!
From Southbound to Kristy, The Witch, Regression and even Deathgasm, Satan is all the rage.
He’s being conjured in Magnet Releasing’s Satanic, a new supernatural teen-horror film starring Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”), Justin Chon (“Twilight” series), Clara Mamet, and Steven Krueger.
“Satanic follows a van full of young, college-aged coeds who are visiting old Satanic Panic-era sites in Los Angeles. They end up following the creepy owner of an occult store home, only to find themselves saving a suspicious girl from an apparent human sacrifice. Only this “victim” turns out to be much more than dangerous then the cult from which she escaped.“
Satanic will be the feature film debut of director Jeff Hunt, a veteran television director with experience on shows such as “Fringe,” “Hawaii 5-0,” “CSI,” “Nikita,” “Person of Interest” and “Dark Blue.”
Bizarrely, Anthony Jawinski, who penned the aforementioned Kristy, penned the screenplay.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
