Die’ced: Reloaded is a 2025 American horror slasher film directed and written by Jeremy Rudd. It expands on Rudd’s viral 2023 short film Die’ced and pays tribute to brutal 1980s-style slashers with synth music, neon visuals, and a terrifying masked killer.
Set in 1980s Seattle on Halloween night, the story follows Benny—a dangerous serial killer who escapes from an asylum. Wearing a scarecrow mask, he unleashes a brutal killing spree across the city. His main target is Cassandra Blain, a young woman unknowingly connected to his disturbing past.
Starring Eden Campbell, Jason Brooks, and Nigel Vonas, Die’ced: Reloaded is packed with violence, fear, and a dark backstory. It releases in limited theaters on August 8, 2025, with digital and Blu-ray releases to follow.
