Roadside Attractions and Saban Films Set CRAWLERS In Theaters for October 16, 2026

Roadside Attractions and Saban Films have announced a theatrical release date for CRAWLERS: the horror-thriller will arrive in cinemas on October 16, 2026. The project is described as a claustrophobic, spider-focused nightmare set inside an apartment complex under strict quarantine.

Premise

The story follows building manager Serena, portrayed by Matilda Lutz, as residents are locked down by a police-mandated quarantine after a rapid infestation of venomous spiders. With the eight-legged threat multiplying quickly, Serena — familiar with the layout of the complex — may be the group’s best hope for survival if she can confront her own fears.

Creative team and production highlights

• Directed by Ángel Gómez Hernández
• Written by Jayson Rothwell
• Producers listed include Scott Strauss, Peter Welter, Jayson Rothwell, Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Josh Weinstock, and Alexandra Milchan
• Executive producers include Andrew Schwartzberg, Jon Shiffman, and Diarmaid McGrath

Coverage of the announcement emphasizes the film’s intense tone and the use of both practical and visual effects to realize its creature work and atmosphere.

What to expect

The title is being positioned as an autumn horror release, playing into seasonal interest in provocative, high-tension genre fare. The contained setting and the arachnid threat suggest a focus on suspense, survival dynamics among residents, and close-quarters scares.

Further details such as additional cast, running time, and distribution specifics beyond the theatrical date have not been provided in the release.
