He’ll be slashing his way into theaters early next year.

20th Century Studios will release PSYCHO KILLER to screens across the country February 20, 2026. Directed by Gavin Polone from a script by Andrew Kevin Walker (SE7EN, SLEEPY HOLLOW), with a producing team including the people behind BARBARIAN and WEAPONS, it stars BARBARIAN’s Georgina Campbell, James Preston Rogers, Grace Dove, Logan Miller and genre fave Malcolm McDowell. The synopsis: “Following the brutal murder of her husband, a Kansas highway patrol officer [Campbell] sets out on a journey to track down the perpetrator. As the hunt progresses, she comes to realize the man responsible [Rogers] is a sadistic serial killer, and the depth of his mental depravity and his sinister agenda is more twisted than anyone could have imagined.”
