Read the full synopsis below:

Watch the official trailer exclusively on Dread Central:
“In 2023, female representation in film hit a ten-year low, despite women helming major blockbusters. Independent films, particularly in horror, allow women to play more than just the girlfriend or wife,” says Katz. “As a mother, I feared passing on addiction or mental illness to my son, which inspired the idea of a family demon—exploring both guilt and fear. I love exorcism films because they feel the most real, but I’ve never seen a self-exorcism movie, and that fresh take on the genre excites me.”
Katz stars in the film alongside Vernon Wells (Mad Max) and Laurene Landon (Argamon’s Gate) star in The Beast Inside. Katz also produced the film through her company See You Next Tuesday Films, which she founded to create stories with strong, complex female characters in horror. Her mission is to redefine female representation in the genre, showcasing women who stand and fight rather than fall into stereotypical roles.
“Uncork’d Entertainment is thrilled to bring The Beast Inside to audiences, not only as a gripping, edge-of-your-seat horror film but also as a fresh, empowering take on the genre,” says Keith Leopard, President of Uncork’d Entertainment. “This is more than just another possession story—The Beast Inside is a reimagined narrative driven by a fearless heroine who fights for her destiny.”
Johnny Pasquale and Mario Reyes executive produced the film with Jimmy Star and Eileen Shapiro serving as co-producers.
Uncork’d Entertainment unleashes The Beast Inside on digital and VOD on December 3, 2024.
