April 17, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

Lionsgate has released a trailer for director Bruce Wemple’s (The Retreat, Monstrous) new horror-comedy My Best Friend’s Dead.

The film centres on Olivia, a young woman who tries to resurrect her recently deceased best friend, but instead unleashes a demon that turns her remote New England town into a terrifying hellscape.

My Best Friend’s Dead stars Caitlin Duffy, Anna Shields, Grant Schumacher, and Catharine Daddario. Check out the trailer below…

Don’t mess with the dead. In a remote New England town, a sweet young woman has closed herself off to the outside world since the tragic murder of her best friend. When she tries to bring her soulmate back from the dead, the demon she has created follows her out into the real world and turns the quiet borough into a terrifying hellscape. Experience a wild and witty modern horror story about isolation, delusion and the supernatural.

My Best Friend’s Dead arrives on digital on May 26th.
