The Horror Collective has dropped the official trailer for COVER, the gripping psychological thriller from filmmaker Cameron Francis, ahead of its North American digital release on August 26.
Following its buzzy debut at Panic Fest 2025, COVER draws viewers into a suspenseful descent set largely in a remote motel. The story centers on a traveling stamp dealer whose encounter with a woman fleeing an abusive relationship ignites a chilling spiral of manipulation, trauma, and retribution.
The film stars Cameron Francis (Never Back Down, George & Tammy), Christopher Schmidt (Recount, Bait Shop), Katherine Lozon, and Garin Jones. COVER is set for international sales launch by Entertainment Squad at Cannes.
Watch the trailer now and mark your calendar for the digital release on August 26.
In a time when trauma, isolation, and trust are being explored in deeper ways across genre storytelling, COVER taps into the zeitgeist with a chilling sense of immediacy.
“Genre films are evolving, and COVER is part of that evolution,” said director Cameron Francis. “It’s about what happens when people carry invisible wounds into seemingly simple situations — and how quickly things can become dangerous when no one’s telling the full truth.”

Shaked Berenson, founder of The Horror Collective, added: “Cameron has crafted a gripping, stripped-down thriller that delivers on both mood and momentum. COVER is exactly the kind of intelligent, elevated horror our audience craves.”
