The trailer for The Death of Us is out, and the film premieres at Tubi FrightFest 2026 this Saturday, August 29, as a world premiere in the festival’s First Blood strand.
Annabella Rich directs, co-writing the script with Chris Mills. The two of them also star. The supporting cast includes Nicholas Vince, who horror fans know from Hellraiser and Nightbreed, along with Johnny Vivash, Marta Svetek, and Francesca Louise White.
The setup is a retreat that does not take. A well-known author and his wife lose their child in a home invasion and leave for the countryside afterward. The official synopsis says memories are far from the only things haunting them, which is the kind of line that tells you where this is going without telling you how.
The Death of Us Heads to FrightFest
The screening is set for Saturday, August 29 at 1:05 p.m. in Leicester Square. FrightFest runs Thursday, August 27 through Monday, August 31.
First Blood is the festival’s slot for debut UK directors, and five films made the cut this year. The Death of Us is Rich’s first feature.
Mills produced. Raffaele Nocerino shot it, David Wright scored it, and Six Foot Under Productions made it. Filming happened around Chichester and in Ashdown Forest.
Rich told the Sussex Express she was “just one of just five new directors chosen for it.” Mills said the two had acted opposite each other before, but that this was her first time directing and she “took to it like a duck to water.”
No US release information has been confirmed yet.
