Terror Films Releasing delivered a massive wave of horror in 2025 packed with thrills, chills, and gloriously gory kills. From chilling found footage to supernatural nightmares and pulse-pounding thrillers that made us sleep with the lights on, TFR proved it knows exactly how to terrify. And they aren’t slowing down. If anything, 2026 looks even bigger, and I’m more than ready for the ride. I’ve spent years diving into the TFR library, and when a company puts out something as iconic as “Hell House LLC,” it earns the right to brag. Now, a brand-new partnership is set to unleash even more horror for fans to devour. I just got word about a killer new film on the way and here’s what I learned.
FROM THE TERROR FILMS RELEASING PRESS RELEASE:
TERROR FILMS RELEASING has teamed with writer and director Gary Francis Roche to release his new horror feature, “Demo_N.” Starring Roche, Angharad L. Ford, Nathan Joseph, and Sarah Collins, the film follows Gary, who opens a mysterious demo link during a friends’ reunion—unwittingly unleashing a supernatural presence into their online chat. The playable demo for the cursed game featured in the film, titled “Tag! You’re Dead,” was initially released on the gaming platform Steam. Roche shared his thoughts on the making of the film:
“Demo_N began as a fun little short film project to keep my creativity alive while between industry jobs. With six years of filmmaking experience, I leaned on every skill I had—from acting, editing, animation, and sound design—using only my desktop and the idea of a cursed retro video game.
When I shared the short with my friend Richard Charlton, he immediately saw its potential as a feature. Richard and I began developing the screenplay while I built the game animations. The production was grueling, with creative, technical, and environmental obstacles pushing me to the edge, but we persevered.
What emerged was a feature that exceeded expectations, securing streaming distribution, a Dread Central mention, and even inspiring a playable demo through Found TV. Now, with Demo_N being released globally under Terror Films, I’m thrilled to share this with found footage horror and gaming fans alike.”
