Plot
After escaping custody, two fugitives force their way into an isolated home and take the woman inside hostage. What begins as a plan to lay low quickly unravels when they realize the house is tied to a dark Voodoo curse.

Trapped overnight, the criminals are forced to confront a supernatural entity that thrives on guilt, bloodshed, and the souls of the lost.

Production
The film was produced by Redemption Motion Pictures. Devin Fearn wrote the screenplay, based on a story by Andre Hepburn. Hepburn stated the film was his way of "confronting grief" after losing his father, and said "grief can haunt us as powerfully as any monster." Co-director Andrew Adler said they used supernatural horror "to tell a deeply human story about moral boundaries" and how loss can distort justice. The score was composed by Grace-Mary Burega, her first feature film score.[2][5]
Release
Bad Voodoo was released on VOD and DVD in the United States on February 10, 2026.[6] It was released digitally in the United Kingdom on March 16, 2026. The film is available on Apple TV, Google Play Movies, Vudu, Amazon Video, and YouTube.[7][8]
Reception
Critical reception was mixed. Horror Screams Video Vault described it as a "visceral experience rooted in eerie atmospherics". Other reviews criticized it as a "low-budget movie with cringe-worthy acting, a weak story, and terrible special effects." Bloody Disgusting published an article covering the trailer release.[9][10]
Catherine Bray of The Guardian gave the film a rating of 2/5 and wrote: As for any cultural sensitivities around portrayal of voodoo … on the whole this enterprise is so unrelated to reality that it would feel like getting mad at a child’s drawing.[11]
