Actor-filmmaker Vishwaksen is back in the director’s chair with #CULT, a daring slasher drama that promises a raw and unsettling cinematic experience. Bankrolled by Sandeep Kakarala under the banner of Tarak Cinemas, the film draws inspiration from shocking real-life incidents and introduces nearly 100 fresh faces to the big screen. After generating curiosity with its intense first look, the much-awaited teaser has finally dropped and it doesn’t hold back.

The teaser begins on a seemingly carefree note, as a group of friends heads to Goa in search of a wild party night. However, their plans hit a snag when they are denied entry into an exclusive event. Just when disappointment sets in, they receive mysterious “Cult Passes” granting them access to what appears to be a high-profile celebration. What follows, though, is far from glamorous.

The party host soon reveals a sinister twist a deadly survival game where the only way out is to stay alive. As the night spirals into chaos, bodies begin to fall in gruesome fashion. The entry of a mysterious Game Master further intensifies the tension, adding unpredictability and psychological fear to the carnage.

CULT thrives on raw tension, unapologetic violence, and bold storytelling. Vishwaksen’s direction appears sharp and fearless, blending youthful vibrancy with nerve-wracking brutality. His late-entry presence in the teaser leaves a chilling impact, hinting at a powerful role in the narrative.

The film features a notable ensemble cast including Gayatri Bharadwaj, Tarak Ponnappa, Murali Sharma, and Srikanth Iyengar, alongside a vibrant lineup of newcomers who bring authenticity and energy to the screen.

Technically, the film is backed by a strong crew. Tharun Bhascker pens crisp, edgy dialogues, while Ravi Basrur delivers a pounding and aggressive background score that amplifies the tension. Arvind Vishwanathan’s striking visuals enhance the film’s gritty tone, supported by solid production values throughout.

With its gripping premise and international sensibilities, #CULT positions itself as a bold cinematic experiment aimed at global audiences. The film is slated for a Pan-World release, setting high expectations for what could be one of the most intense thrillers in recent times.
