A late-night digital encounter spirals into a blood-soaked supernatural nightmare in 'HUMAN', the new horror film from director Matt Stuertz, arriving in select theaters and on VOD and Digital platforms on October 23, 2026 through Dark Sky Films.
The film follows Dani Ferris, played by Jackie Kelly, who is alone, exhausted and looking for a little late-night digital distraction before bed.
Instead, she is pulled into an increasingly chaotic night of friends, lovers, enemies, heartbreak, violence and supernatural terror, where every relationship becomes a gamble and every passing hour brings a new threat.
Combining the claustrophobic pressure of a single-night thriller with graphic horror and dark humour, 'HUMAN' previously played FrightFest and Obscura Film Fest before its October release.
The film is directed and produced by Matt Stuertz, written by David Neiss, and also produced by David Christopher Pitt.
