Superstition (2026)

Superstition (2026) is an upcoming psychological horror film currently in production, directed by Mike Flanagan. The project features a star-studded ensemble cast including Kate Siegel, Lulu Wilson, and Carla Gugino, marking another collaboration between the director and his frequent collaborators from projects like The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep. The story centers on a family haunted by a malevolent force tied to their ancestral home, exploring themes of generational trauma and the blurred lines between mental illness and supernatural occurrences.

Flanagan has confirmed that the film will delve deeper into practical effects combined with modern CGI to create a visceral atmosphere of dread. Principal photography began in late 2025 at various locations in Georgia, utilizing abandoned structures to enhance the eerie aesthetic typical of his previous works. The screenplay was written by Flanagan himself, who aims to subvert traditional horror tropes by focusing heavily on character development and emotional resonance rather than jump scares alone.

• The film marks the return of Kate Siegel to a lead role after her prominent performances in Flanagan's Netflix series.
• Production designer Steve Mackowski is returning to collaborate on the set design, ensuring continuity with the visual style of Flanagan's recent theatrical releases.
• Composer Christopher Young, known for his work in horror cinema, is composing the original score, promising a haunting auditory experience.
• The movie is expected to premiere at a major international film festival in early 2026 before its wide theatrical release later that year.
