If your weekend plans don’t currently involve a healthy dose of ritualistic murder, road-trip vengeance, and Malcolm McDowell, 20th Century Studios and New Regency are here to fix that. After a gory theatrical run back in February, the unapologetically brutal Satanic slasher Psycho Killer is finally making its streaming debut this Friday, May 29, 2026, on Hulu (and via the Hulu on Disney+ bundle).
The film comes from the beautifully twisted mind of screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker—the same man who wrote Se7en and Sleepy Hollow—so you already know the vibe is going to be distinctly bleak, drenched in rain, and deeply concerned with human depravity.
Don’t Mess with Kansas Highway Patrol
Modern horror royalty Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) stars as a grieving Kansas highway patrol officer who hits the asphalt with a single, laser-focused mission: track down the man who murdered her husband.
Unfortunately for her, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill hitchhiker. As her highway manhunt intensifies, she discovers that the killer is a sadistic, occult-obsessed serial murderer whose grand, sinister agenda is infinitely more warped than a simple roadside execution.
A Team Bred for Pure Tension
Stepping into the director’s chair for his feature debut is veteran producer Gavin Polone (Zombieland, Panic Room), who clearly knows a thing or two about tight spaces and survival instinct. Behind the scenes, he’s backed by heavyweight genre producers Roy Lee (Barbarian) and Arnon Milchan (The Revenant).
To populate this hellish American landscape, the production assembled a phenomenal, eclectic cast. Georgina Campbell stars alongside James Preston Rogers (The Blackening), Grace Dove (The Revenant), Logan Miller (Escape Room), and, of course, Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Rob Zombie’s Halloween) because you literally cannot make a movie about psychological depravity without him showing up to look elegantly sinister.
The Warning Label
Unsurprisingly, a movie called Psycho Killer, written by the Se7en guy, isn’t angling for a PG-13 rating. The film has proudly earned its R-rating for a laundry list of delightful cinematic sins, including “strong bloody violence, strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and language.” In other words, don’t watch this one with your parents and your kids.
What’s Next? If this whets your appetite for Walker’s specific brand of darkness, the writer is already moving on to his next project, Flesh of the Gods—a high-profile vampire thriller directed by Panos Cosmatos (Mandy) starring Kristen Stewart and Wagner Moura.
Until then, lock your doors, keep your eyes on the rearview mirror, and stream Psycho Killer this Friday!
