Imagine waking up from a five-year coma only to realize that “hitting the snooze button” might have been a better move. We’ve got an exclusive new clip from the upcoming psychological nightmare, The Observance. It sees the legendary Ted Raimi running into a bit of trouble.
Home Sweet… Cult?
Our protagonist finally opens her eyes after half a decade in a coma, expecting a warm “welcome home” party. Instead, she finds that her world has been completely hijacked.
An enigmatic (read: super creepy) religious leader hasn’t just moved into her house—he’s moved into the minds of her family. Her husband and daughter are now fully drinking the cult Kool-Aid, and the madness doesn’t stop at the driveway. This guy has managed to infect the entire town with his twisted influence. It’s a deep dive into cult terror that’ll make you want to double-check your own front door locks.
The Talent Behind the Terror
Directed by Rob Hollocks, the film features a cast that knows a thing or two about making your skin crawl (in a good way). Horror legend Ted Raimi stars alongside a massive cast that includes Kate Dailey and Alec James. They are joined by Anna Borchert, Bronson Taylor, Darby Cappillino, and Jonathan E. Simmons.
How to Watch (If You’re Brave Enough)
You’ve got two ways to experience the isolation:
The Observance starts an exclusive AMC Theatres run this Friday, the 13th (February 13, 2026). Nothing says “perfect date night” like a religious cult takeover, right? If you’d rather stay under your own blankets, the film will be available on VOD and digital platforms on May 6, 2026.
Pro Tip: If you want a deeper look into the madness, head over toHorrorFuel’s Facebook Live or YouTube archives to catch a sit-down with Hollocks and the cast.
