The trailer for EVER AFTER showcases an award‑winning indie horror film that reimagines classic fairy tales as a brutal, blood‑soaked survival nightmare. Featuring an ensemble of genre icons — Mark Sheppard, Bonnie Aarons, Michael Berryman, Kane Hodder, and Malcolm McDowell — the film blends familiar storybook mythology with large‑scale horror set pieces and practical creature effects.
EVER AFTER opens exclusively in theaters September 4, 2026, followed by an On Demand release on October 27, 2026.
Written and directed by Laszlo Illes, the film follows a group of friends who travel to a remote forest lodge for a bachelorette weekend. Their plans collapse when they encounter violent zealots who believe they are living out the roles of fairy‑tale heroes and villains. As night falls, figures resembling Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, the Evil Witch, and Prince Charming emerge — transformed into brutal, unrecognizable versions of the characters audiences grew up with. What follows is a fight for survival as fantasy and reality collide.
