DREAD
Directed by Gabe Gabriel & Loren Loubser (South Africa, 2026)

A transmasc driver in Cape Town picks up a passenger whose traumatic story seems to leave something sinister behind in the backseat. What starts as an ordinary ride turns into a supernatural reckoning where trauma, possession, and karmic justice collide.
