TERROR FILMS RELEASING has teamed with writer / director Gary Francis Roche to release his horror film, “Demo_N”.
Starring Roche, Angharad L. Ford, Nathan Joseph, and Sarah Collins, the film follows Gary, who opens a demo link during a friends’ reunion, unknowingly summoning a supernatural presence into their chat. A playable demo for the game featured in the film—titled "Tag! You're Dead"—was initially released on gaming platform Steam.
Roche shared his thoughts about the making of the film:
“Demo_N began as a fun little short film project to keep my creativity alive while between industry jobs. With six years of filmmaking experience, I leaned on every skill I had, from acting, editing, animation, and sound design, using only my desktop and the idea of a cursed retro video game.
When I shared the short with my friend Richard Charlton, he immediately saw its potential as a feature. Richard and I began developing the screenplay while I built the game banimations. The production was grueling, with creative, technical, and environmental obstacles pushing me to the edge, but we persevered.
What emerged was a feature that exceeded expectations, securing streaming distribution, a Dread Central mention, and even inspiring a playable demo through Found TV. Now, with Demo_N being released globally under Terror Films, I’m thrilled to share this with found footage horror and gaming fans alike.”
TFR will premiere the film across multiple platforms on February 27th, 2026, including Chilling, Scare Network TV, Kings of Horror, Watch Movies Now, Shocks & Docs, TFR’s official AVOD YouTube channel, and many more. Check out the official poster and trailer, courtesy of TERROR FILMS RELEASING.
