British Horror Studio has released the official trailer for In the Grip of Terror, a new anthology horror film from Amicus Productions and the company’s first new horror feature in more than four decades.
Directed by Lawrie Brewster (The Unkindness of Ravens, Automata), Calum Paul and Megan Tremethick (Spoiling You), In the Grip of Terror is an anthology of macabre tales in the classic Amicus tradition, drawing inspiration from the worlds of H. P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce and E. F. Benson.
The film will be released in UK theaters between October and November 2026 through British Horror Studio Picture House.
The story follows a group of travelers who arrive at a mysterious hospital, where they encounter the unsettling Dr. Graves. As the visitors’ stories unfold one after another, disturbing secrets and increasingly troubling truths emerge, while the line between life and death becomes increasingly uncertain.
The cast includes Golden Globe nominee Jane Merrow (The Lion in Winter, Hands of the Ripper), Laurence R. Harvey (The Human Centipede II), Lawrie Brewster, Megan Tremethick and Dorian Todd. Brewster also wrote the screenplay.
In addition to directing the film, Lawrie Brewster serves as president of Amicus Productions and founder of British Horror Studio. He explained that the goal is to create a practical route for bringing horror films focused on story, atmosphere and personality to theaters.
The initiative begins with In the Grip of Terror and will continue with Black Chariot, starring Laurence R. Harvey and Megan Tremethick; Spoiling You, starring Tremethick, Harvey and Stephen Kerr; and Mr Whispers, starring Tremethick, Novarro Ramon, Dorian Todd and Sam McMillan.
