‘The Demonatrix’ Trailer Brings Blood, BDSM, and a Summoned Demon to Indie Horror

Things go from kinky to catastrophic in The Demonatrix, where a dominatrix’s sham séance opens a portal to hell itself. The trailer drops Lita (Hannah Fierman, V/H/S) into a nightmare she never saw coming, as a demon incubus (Nivek Ogre, Repo! The Genetic Opera) is unleashed, forcing a priest across the street (Aurelio Voltaire, The Velocipastor) and his demonologist mentor (Doug Bradley, Hellraiser) to battle the infernal threat.

Joining the cast is indie horror veteran Larry Fessenden (You’re Next), while Norman Cabrera (Hellboy, The Cabin in the Woods) provides grotesque practical makeup effects that bring the demon’s terror to life. Written and directed by Voltaire and Jeff Ferrell, the film blends dark humor, horror, and chaotic supernatural mayhem in true indie style.

The Demonatrix hits the U.S. premiere circuit next month before touring horror festivals and conventions across the country:

• 12/5 – New York City Horror Film Festival, New York, NY
• 1/31 – Sacramento Horror Film Festival, Sacramento, CA
• 2/20 – Days of the Dead, Atlanta, GA
• 3/13-14 – Jacksonville Horror Film Festival, Jacksonville, FL
• 3/21 – Creature Feature Weekend, Gettysburg, PA
• 4/11 – Bonebat Comedy of Horrors Film Festival, Seattle, WA
• 5/2-3 – Crypticon, Seattle, WA
• 5/29-31 – Spooky Empire, Orlando, FL

The team plans to keep the film on the road, screening at a new city at least once a month throughout 2026—meaning the chaos Lita unleashed is just getting started.
