LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cineverse (NASDAQ: CNVS), a next-gen entertainment studio, and Bloody Disgusting, its horror division, have announced their upcoming slate of releases for its streaming service, SCREAMBOX. This includes December dates for recently-announced acquisitions Breathing In (2024 Macabro: Mexico City International Horror Film Festival’s Best Film winner) and the cringe-inducing exorcism horror Deus Irae (an official selection of the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival).
“SCREAMBOX is stuffing the stockings this holiday season with a jam-packed slate of brand-new horror movies you won’t find anywhere else,” said Brad Miska, VP of Bloody Disgusting. “We’re stacking our lineup with killer movies – from dark horror films brimming with gore to psychological thrillers that will twist your brain into a knot, we’re here to make sure your horror fix is satisfied well beyond Halloween.”
SCREAMBOX hit an all-time monthly high in minutes consumed in October, up +26% vs. the prior month, and in 2024 will have premiered a record 19 originals.
Coming soon to SCREAMBOX include:
- Breathing In (now available) – Set in 1901, South Africa, a wounded general seeks refuge in the small home of a woman and her young daughter. Before long, he’ll learn the real reason why they’ve invited him and how they’ve survived on their own for so long. Jaco Bouwer directs this beautifully shot and tense horror thriller that stars Michele Burgers, Sven Ruygrok and Jamie-Lee Money.
- Deus Irae (premieres December 10) – Follows Father Javier, who lives a fractured existence, claiming miracles, while he also hunts the possessed with Bibles, fire, and shotguns.

- Street Trash (premieres December 27) – In the not-too-distant dystopian future of South Africa, the homeless crisis has reached such a critical level that the government has decided to liquidate the problem literally).

The hotly anticipated reimagining is directed by celebrated up-and-coming director Ryan Kruger (Fried Barry).
- Lizzie Lazarus (premieres January 14, 2025) – Summer Solstice, 1990, two strangers carry a corpse through the woods looking for a mythical zone they believe will bring the dead body back to life.

- #Manhole (premieres January 28, 2025) – Shunsuke Kawamura’s life is going great by every measure from work to his engagement. On the day before his wedding, his colleagues hold a surprise party for him. On the way home, he falls into a deep manhole.

Director Kazuyoshi Kumakiri will shock audiences with this always-surprising thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
- Delicate Arch (premieres February 11, 2025) – Horror gets trippy in Matthew Warren’s Delicate Arch.
