Watch STOMACH IT: "Following a prestigious festival run at some of the most renown film festivals in the world, from Oscar-qualifying festivals from Nashville to Screamfest, Comic Con, Indy Shorts, FilmQuest and Panic Fest to name just a few, and now to Cannes, Peter Klausner’s "punch to the gut" film explores the psychosomatic horrors of unprocessed trauma. Melding the practical effects of Nightmare on Elm Street with the psychological decay of Videodrome, Director Peter Klausner delivers a blood-soaked meditation on the essence of detachment and isolation.
STOMACH IT premieres on Crypt TV on Friday, May 15, 2026 and can be viewed directly on Crypt TV by clicking here. There will also be special screenings in Cannes starting at the same time and continuing throughout the festival, presented to worldwide distributors and audiences by Lon Haber & Co.
Starring Jon Lee Richardson (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), STOMACH IT is a relentless descent into fixation and corporeal terror. The film has garnered strong critical praise for its uncompromising imagery, atmosphere, and disturbing thematic core. Written and directed by Klausner and produced by Klausner alongside Torey Rubin (RWBY, Zall Good), STOMACH IT explores the psychological toll of emotional detachment taken to a grotesque extreme.
In the film, a crime-scene cleaner struggles to separate his professional responsibilities from the deeply personal artifacts left behind by the dead. During a late-night job, he becomes convinced that a monstrous presence is watching—and manipulating—him, forcing a confrontation between compartmentalization and self-destruction."
