DON’T MOVE Brings a Deadly Prehistoric Arachnid to Theatres in September 2026

Impractical Productions is making a major move into feature films with DON’T MOVE, a high-concept survival horror thriller set to crawl into theatres nationwide in September 2026.

Blending creature-feature terror with edge-of-your-seat suspense, DON’T MOVE traps a church retreat in the unforgiving Ozark wilderness, where every sound—and every step—could mean certain death. Directed by Maclain Nelson, the film stars Lyndsy Fonseca, Russell “Russ” Vitale, Hunter King, Joseph Lee Anderson, Tom Cavanagh, and Rob Riggle, with special appearances from T-Pain, Brian “Q” Quinn, and Matt Biedel.

Plot Synopsis

What begins as an annual church camping retreat quickly descends into a nightmare.

After venturing into an isolated section of the Ozark wilderness, members of the group begin disappearing one by one. As fear and paranoia spread, suspicion falls on Ricky (Russell “Russ” Vitale), the group’s troubled outsider whose behavior makes him the obvious suspect.

But Ricky isn’t the real monster.

Hidden deep within the forest lies a massive prehistoric arachnid that has survived for centuries. Nesting within a sprawling labyrinth of webs, the creature hunts in complete darkness by sensing the slightest vibration. Every footstep, every movement, and every attempt to escape brings its deadly attention.

With panic consuming the survivors, Megan (Lyndsy Fonseca) must take charge of the dwindling group and lead them to safety. To survive, they’ll have to do the impossible: Don’t move.

A New Creature Feature for Horror Fans

Combining survival horror, psychological tension, and classic creature-feature thrills, DON’T MOVE puts a terrifying spin on the age-old fear of what lurks in the woods. Rather than relying solely on jump scares, the film builds suspense around a simple but chilling premise: the only way to stay alive is to remain perfectly still.

With a cast led by Lyndsy Fonseca, an intimidating prehistoric monster, and a unique vibration-hunting concept, DON’T MOVE is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated original horror films of 2026 for fans of creature features and suspense-driven survival stories.

DON’T MOVE opens in theatres nationwide in September 2026.
