Lock the doors, because Telugu cinema just got its first slasher. #Cult, starring and directed by Vishwak Sen, hit theatres on October 30, 2026, and early viewers are already talking.

What Audiences Are Saying?

Early reactions are mostly positive, with a few mixed notes:

• “Daring” and fresh: One viewer called it a bold survival thriller and a new attempt for Telugu cinema.
• Hooked throughout: Another said it kept them engaged from start to finish.
• A slight dip: One viewer liked the first half but found the second just okay. Even so, they called it one of Vishwak Sen’s better films.
• “India’s first slasher”: A fourth praised his direction and acting and urged people to watch it in theatres.

What Is #Cult About?

Officer Sankalp Nayak is a fierce, no-nonsense cop transferred to Goa. His mission is to crack down on incidents targeting tourists, especially Telugu visitors.

Meanwhile, a group of college friends sneaks into an exclusive underground party at an isolated estate. Then a mysterious Game Master locks over 300 guests inside and forces them into a deadly survival game. Sankalp has to step in before it’s too late.
