Breaking Glass Pictures is excited to announce the upcoming August 16th AVOD release of SubHysteria 2026, an expanded and newly released version of the 2010 indie thriller. The film will be available on Tubi and additional AVOD platforms.
Directed by Venezuelan filmmaker Leonard Zelig, SubHysteria 2026 places sixteen strangers from different backgrounds and social classes inside a New York City subway car, where they become trapped for days with no communication, no escape, and no contact with the outside world. As their confinement continues and the possibility of death becomes increasingly real, fear and desperation begin to transform the group.
What sets SubHysteria apart is its unconventional approach to filmmaking. Rather than relying on traditional scripted dialogue, the film was built around improvisation, with the actors developing their dialogue and interactions within the framework of the story. The result is an unpredictable and unfiltered examination of human behavior under extreme circumstances.
The new SubHysteria 2026 expands and updates the original film for a new generation of audiences while retaining the central experiment that made the project unique: placing ordinary people in an extraordinary situation and observing what happens when the possibility of survival begins to disappear.
“SubHysteria 2026 puts audiences in an incredibly confined and unpredictable situation where the tension comes from the people themselves,” said Richard Wolff, CEO of Breaking Glass Pictures. “The film has a raw quality that makes the characters’ reactions feel immediate and authentic. We’re excited to introduce this expanded version to a new audience through AVOD.”
The film stars Osvaldo Benavides (Acapulco, Humble Maria, The Good Doctor), Ginger Kroll (Notorious, New York, The Sopranos), Sally Gifford (Farmed and Dangerous, In God’s Country, One Way), Hwalan Shub (The Blacklist, Equal Standard), Elaiza Gil (El Peor Hombre del Mundo, Válgame Dios), Isabella Cascarano (Beast Mode, Payday, Bad Ass), Estelle Bajou (Charming The Hearts Of Men, The Post, 7th Secret) , and Maceo Terrero.
SubHysteria 2026 is produced by Roberto Alcazar, Mario Domina, Javier Perez-Karam, and Pilar de Posadas.
