Don’t Eat the Nephew (2026)
Directed by Ben McCarthy
“It runs in the family”
Horror, Thriller · 13m
On his 17th birthday, an isolated teenage boy grapples with a disturbing and newfound craving after accidentally tasting his own blood. What begins as a moment of curiosity quickly spirals into an unsettling obsession, blurring the line between hunger and identity. Surrounded by a family that seems both oblivious and eerily suggestive, the boy becomes increasingly paranoid that others can sense, or even share, his dark secret. As tensions rise, his uncle’s behaviour turns from inappropriate to disturbingly predatory, suggesting a deeper, inherited hunger lurking within the family. Drawn back to the woods where it all began, the boy is forced into a horrifying confrontation that reveals the true nature of his condition. In a grim twist of fate, victim becomes predator, and the cycle continues...
