FOUND TV, the dedicated home for found footage horror, announced the exclusive worldwide premiere of BUM, the latest feature from Canadian filmmaker Anthony Leroy. The film will debut globally on June 16, available in over 120 countries through FOUND TV’s free-with-ads platform and FOUND TV+ membership.
BUM follows a freelance news crew and a hotshot reporter search for a violent vagrant and get more than they bargained for.

Anthony Leroy is a Canadian filmmaker known for his chaotic horror-comedy films that blend SOV (shot-on-video) techniques and aesthetics with found footage stylings. As the co-founder of Elytra Collective, Anthony writes, directs, edits and acts, producing genre-bending works including BUM (2025) and Worm Burner (2024).

The film joins FOUND TV’s curated library of found footage reinforcing the platform’s focus on bringing independent horror projects to a global audience.

Independent filmmakers working in found footage and adjacent styles often face limited distribution opportunities. By providing a dedicated platform for these works, FOUND TV continues to support creators whose films may not fit traditional release models.

With a curated library of over 300 titles and new films added regularly, the platform emphasizes discovery and accessibility for both audiences and creators. FOUND TV is available across multiple devices, including Apple TV, Roku, Fire Stick, smart TVs, web browsers, and mobile platforms.

Kaelin will host a live special edition of Murder in a Minute, a late-night true crime broadcast that airs the recovered footage connected to the mysterious disappearance of William Spanner, Keli Jordan, and the rest of the team from the television series Unmasking the Paranormal. Neither Kaelin nor the viewers watching the broadcast have ever seen the footage before, causing the terror and reactions unfolding throughout the film to happen completely in real time.

As the broadcast continues, what begins as a sensationalized exposé quickly spirals into something far more disturbing. The recovered footage reveals the existence of The Children of the Hollow, a brutal cult tied to an ancient cursed lantern known as The Lanterne of Light. Strange interruptions and increasingly panicked reactions from viewers blur the line between entertainment and genuine supernatural terror.

Directed by Carissa Pierson, Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light aims to combine psychological dread, occult mythology, and immersive found footage storytelling into a uniquely structured horror experience. By framing the movie through a live television event, the filmmakers hope to create the feeling that audiences are witnessing forbidden footage unfold alongside the characters reacting onscreen.

“We wanted the audience to feel like they’re watching something they were never supposed to see,” said Pierson. “Kato’s role brings an unsettling realism to the film because the horror is unfolding live in front of everyone. It turns the audience into part of the experience.”

The growing cast also includes:

Andrew Pierson of Return of the Living Dead: Trash’s Revenge, A Soldier’s Descent, and Witchcraft: The Initiation
Kristina Lafser of A Soldier’s Descent, The Last Sleepover, and Haunted House of Pancakes
Lisa Wilcox of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master and A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child
Sandy Johnson best known for playing Judith Myers in Halloween
Kaelin’s involvement adds another unexpected layer to a project already building buzz within the indie horror community. With its blend of live-broadcast tension, cult mythology, and immersive found footage horror, Witchcraft: The Lanterne of Light is shaping up to be an ambitious modern entry into the genre.

More casting announcements, production updates, and crowdfunding news are expected soon.

Filmmaker David Rodriguez pushes independent horror to dangerous new heights with Psycho Night. The brutal, stylish urban horror-thriller is now streaming free on Tubi and Sling TV. It is also available on DVD for collectors and horror fans alike.

Praised by viewers as “a bold, bloody masterstroke,” Psycho Night blends psychological horror, hip-hop culture, grindhouse energy, and biting social satire into a pulse-pounding cinematic experience.

Inspired by the dystopian chaos of The Running Man, the survival tension of Squid Game, and the brutal intensity of classic slasher films, the movie follows a wrongfully convicted rapper. He is pulled into a twisted dark web game show where ruthless music executives orchestrate a deadly competition for fame, survival, and a record contract. Imagine the intensity of Saw fused with the raw music industry drama of 8 Mile—all wrapped in neon-soaked visuals, explosive violence, and an unapologetically gritty atmosphere.

With relentless direction, sharp social commentary, and an ensemble cast that brings emotional weight and authenticity to every scene, Rodriguez crafts a chaotic but controlled nightmare. The film feels both wildly entertaining and disturbingly relevant. Executive producers Erica Dyer, Niko El Santos Zavero, and Gladys Quinones help bring the project’s fearless underground vision to life.

More than just another horror film, Psycho Night is a rebellious statement piece—bold, disturbing, stylish, and completely original.

Emerging filmmaker Ten-Headed Skeleton announces the release of SUSURRUS, an ambitious independent horror film inspired by the unsettling internet phenomenon known as Backrooms. Drawing tonal comparisons to the claustrophobic tension of Cube and the existential mystery of The Twilight Zone episode “Five Characters in Search of an Exit,” SUSURRUS expands the concept into a layered, multiverse-driven cinematic experience.

Written, directed, and produced by Ten-Headed Skeleton, SUSURRUS follows a group of women who each enter different buildings—only to find themselves trapped within the same vast, empty structure. Inside this shifting labyrinth, reality fractures: some individuals are inexplicably returned home, others are cast into entirely different universes, and some remain trapped for what feels like centuries.

What begins as a minimalist horror premise evolves into a hidden multiverse narrative. The film presents interconnected glimpses into alternate realities, where versions of the same characters exist under radically different circumstances. One such thread follows a character who perishes in a frozen wilderness after speaking about Ouija boards—only for another version of him to reappear later in a sun-scorched setting, transformed into a predatory force. These overlapping realities reveal a chilling truth: not all versions of a person share the same fate—or morality.

“SUSURRUS is to the Backrooms what Poseidon Adventure is to Titanic,” says Ten-Headed Skeleton. “It uses a familiar concept as a gateway into something much bigger—an exploration of parallel worlds, identity, and the unknown forces that connect them.”

Blending psychological horror with experimental storytelling, SUSURRUS challenges viewers to piece together its fractured narrative while confronting the terror of infinite realities.

SUSURRUS is now available to watch online:

FOUND TV, the dedicated home for found footage horror, has announced its latest FOUND Original, Go to Sleep, a psychological found footage feature from director Steven Espinoza and writer/star Chris Vander Kaay. The film will make its debut at the inaugural Recovered Reels Festival in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, before launching globally on FOUND TV.

Go to Sleep follows a recently single man living in a new house who discovers that his nighttime sleepwalking habits have become unusual and dangerous, and he may not be alone.

The film marks a continued collaboration between FOUND TV and emerging independent creators, reinforcing the platform’s focus on supporting filmmakers working within the found footage space. Vander Kaay, whose previous microbudget feature .ask gained attention within the genre community, brings a similarly intimate and resourceful approach to this new project through his production banner, We Are Your Neon.

“My first film only cost $250, and it was well received by the found footage community, which I’m thankful for,” said Vander Kaay. “That little movie brought us to Found TV to make Go to Sleep, so that $250 has really paid off for us.”

Following its festival debut, Go to Sleep will become available to stream on FOUND TV, which operates in over 100 countries and offers both free-with-ads access and premium FOUND TV+ memberships. The release adds to the platform’s growing slate of FOUND Originals, which are designed to expand the boundaries of found footage storytelling while staying true to its immersive, in-world approach.

“Projects like Go to Sleep are exactly why we built FOUND,” said Louie La Vella. “It’s about giving filmmakers the opportunity to take risks and tell stories that might not fit traditional systems, while still reaching a global audience that truly understands the genre.”

The official trailer for SUBJUGATION has arrived, an upcoming cyberpunk monster movie that merges the gothic vengeance of The Crow with the grotesque, biomechanical body horror of the anime classic Wicked City. Spearheaded by director Doug Roos (Bakemono) and executive producer Jun’ichi Yamamoto (Meatball Machine), the film is a blood-soaked love letter to classic late-80s and 90s practical effects cinema.

Synopsis: Beneath the glossy exterior of Japanese society, they pull the strings of everything. Rich powerful men who can transform into monsters at will and brainwash others with their insidious signal. In this not-too-distant future, more and more women are stalked and murdered until Tokyo’s streets reek of death.

SUBJUGATION features an exceptional ensemble cast tracking Tokyo’s descent into madness, starring Karen Yoshida, Tsukasa, Atsuto Fujita, Ai Tatsuzawa, Takuto Nakamura, and Motomasa Okui.

Director Doug Roos returns to the realm of tactile nightmare fuel. Following his work on Bakemono, Roos doubles down on practical effects, physical creature suits, and atmospheric dread.

Known for work in the cyberpunk body-horror genre, Jun’ichi Yamamoto, director of Meatball Machine, brings his creative vision and experience in high-octane practical effects to the project as Executive Producer.

There is an official crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, offering hardcore genre fans the chance to back the project and secure an exclusive, unrated crowdfunding-only cut of the film packed with bonus practical FX, explicit sequences, and a region-free Blu-ray.
