Devilworks Unleashes a Trio of Genre-Bending Horror Films for Spring 2025
As the horror world embraces spring, Devilworks has emerged from the shadows with a blood-pumping new slate of releases designed to shock, amuse, and terrify. Their 2025 lineup includes three standout titles hitting TVOD and AVOD platforms: the grindhouse-inspired An American Masquerade, the cerebral Daemon Mind, and the chilling anthology You Shall Not Sleep Tonight.

Directed by cult-favorite filmmakers Addison Heath and Jasmine Jakupi (My Cherry Pie, The Viper’s Hex), An American Masquerade is set to become a must-watch for fans of bonkers horror-action hybrids.

🧠 Daemon Mind: Revenge Is a Science

👻 Devilworks and the Rise of Festival Horror
These releases align perfectly with the genre evolution seen at recent horror festivals. At Panic Fest 2024, breakout hits like Jeffrey’s Hell and Boy Kills World demonstrated that horror audiences are hungry for weird, bold storytelling.
Over at The Overlook Film Festival, experimental narratives like Oddity swept top honors—proving once again that horror is the most innovative genre on the circuit.
Devilworks taps into that same DIY spirit, releasing films that play fast, loose, and bloody with genre boundaries.
