Romantic Horror Feature Sets Digital Debut on North American VOD Platforms on February 13, 2026
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the romantic horror feature NUPTIALS, which is now available to rent/own on North American digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms on February 13, 2026, as well as DVD on February 17, 2026.
A young couple on their honeymoon is forced to experience each other’s darkest desires. As the lines between reality and sanity blur, a sinister presence keeps them trapped in their bridal suite and tries to seduce them towards unbearable truths and unthinkable violence. NUPTIALS tells the story of Hannah and Stephen, a couple looking forward to what they believe will be the happiest day of their lives— their wedding. But they didn’t know that their destination wedding and honeymoon would unlock their deepest secrets and force them to confront the darkness that lurks in love. After arriving at a luxury resort, Stephen and Hannah begin to settle into the blissful patterns of their honeymoon, but Hannah is worried about Stephen’s distance and his tunnel vision on his painting. As he works on his paintings with a singular purpose, he begins to abandon her at the beginning of their new lives together. Hannah and Stephen are forced to confront what it means to be married on a journey into their unconscious worlds of dreams, nightmares, and fantasy. Are they trapped in their marriage? Why does it seem like they can’t leave their bridal suite? Who is the demonic Bellhop? And is there any way to escape the “trap” of love so they can build a life together?
Written and directed by Sean Braune, NUPTIALS was produced by Braune, Lee Foster and Thomas Scott. Featured actors include: Ariana Marquis (‘Hannah’), Kevin McPherson Eckhoff (‘Stephen’), Annie Stone (‘Clarissa’), and Denis Davicino (‘The Bellhop’).
“With NUPTIALS, the goal was to make a ‘romance’ movie, but a very strange kind of romance—maybe even an ‘anti-romance,’” said filmmaker Sean Braune. “I hope that audiences will appreciate the film’s courage in asking hard questions about how men and women treat each other in relationships and will continue to talk about these issues when they leave the film and go back to their own relationships, fantasies, partnerships, or marriages.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated a deal to acquire NUPTIALS directly with the filmmakers and Jason Price of Infra-Red Films, Inc.
