A24 has released the official teaser for Slayground, the new thriller from Jeremy Saulnier, the director of Green Room and Rebel Ridge. It opens in theaters on January 29, 2027.
The story
The film is set around a haunted attraction called Slayground. Michael (Cory Michael Smith) survived a night of multiple murders there in October 2024, and he appears to be the prime suspect, which puts him on the run in what's been described as a Halloween-set fugitive thriller.
The project was known for a while as October, and it was originally aimed at a fall release. It has since moved to the new year.
Who's in it
Cory Michael Smith leads as Michael. Chase Sui Wonders, Sophie Wilde and Imogen Poots also star. A24 hasn't announced what roles the rest of the cast are playing.
Behind the camera
Saulnier wrote and directed the film. His earlier work includes Blue Ruin, the punk-band siege thriller Green Room and the Netflix hit Rebel Ridge, so tight, nerve-shredding suspense is very much his territory. Trade reports say Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are scoring, though A24 hasn't confirmed that yet.
