For the digital generation, chasing viral clout usually ends in cringe. For two overly ambitious streamers, it ends in total terror.

Terror Films Releasing has officially joined forces with 741 Films and writer-director Wes Clark to unleash The Psychic: Files, a claustrophobic psychological horror flick heading straight to streaming platforms worldwide this August.

Starring Shelby Latterman, Jason Dezik, and Amanda Schoonover, the film tracks two content creators. They make the horrible decision to break into a psychic’s house looking for cheap views and instant clout. What starts as a reckless stunt turns into a nightmarish ordeal. Soon, they realize the home isn’t just haunted—the spirits trapped inside are being pulled by the strings of something far more sinister.

The First Chapter in a New Genre Slate

Produced under 741 Films’ expanding genre banner—a studio focused on developing bold, audience-driven horror, thrillers, and manga adaptations—The Psychic: Files serves as the inaugural chapter of an interconnected series of supernatural stories conceptualized by the company.

Director Wes Clark set out to weaponize modern tech anxiety through the raw, claustrophobic lens of found footage:

The Psychic: Files was born from a fascination with our digital age’s illusion of connection. We live in a world where the flicker of a ‘live’ button convinces us we are seen, valued, and sated, but when danger closes in, when the lights go out, those thousands of followers vanish into the void…

The result is a film that feels like a nightmare captured in real time: polished enough to follow, yet uncomfortably raw, like scrolling through a livestream you shouldn’t be watching. Because ultimately, this is not just a horror film. It is a reflection of our collective dependency on the digital gaze, and a reminder of its fragility.”

Where to Watch

The found footage horror film hits streaming services on August 21, 2026. You’ll find it on Tubi, Chilling, Roku, Fandango at Home, and more.

Consider this your warning: when the camera is rolling, everyone can hear you scream—even if nobody’s in the chat to save you. Check out the new The Psychic: Files trailer below!
