Nicolas Winding Refn‘s Her Private Hell, an official selection at Cannes 2026, opens in theaters on July 24, 2026, Dread Central learned today.
The film stars Sophie Thatcher (Companion, Heretic, Yellowjackets) as a woman searching for her father as a strange mist engulfs their city and unleashes an elusive, deadly presence.
In addition to the date, new story details have emerged, revealing that his new film is… a slasher!
“The movie has myriad storylines, but fires up in a metropolis future where actresses are gathering at a posh hotel where they’re set to make a Barbarella-like movie. A heinous killer known as Leather Man is going around the city taking the lives of women.”
Her Private Hell also features Charles Melton (May December), Kristine Froseth, and Havana Rose Liu (No Exit), with Dougray Scott (Irvine Welsh’s Crime), Diego Calva (Babylon), Aoi Yamada (Perfect Days), Shioli Kutsuna (Deadpool & Wolverine), and Hidetoshi Nishijima (Drive My Car).
Refn characterizes Her Private Hell as an original story driven by “glitter, sex, and violence,” firmly within his established stylistic territory.
It’s been ten years since Refn released Neon Demon in theaters.
