When war trauma meets bloodlust, a new horror legend is born. A Soldier’s Descent isn’t just another slasher—it’s a groundbreaking dive into madness, revenge, and visceral terror. Prepare for the film that rewrites the rules of the genre.
Indie horror icon Phil Herman is back with a vengeance in his most daring and personal project yet: A first-of-its-kind psychological slasher film that explores the terrifying aftermath of war and the brutal grip of PTSD.
Far more than blood and gore, At the heart of the story is a soldier who returns from battle forever changed — but the real war is just beginning. As his grip on reality crumbles, so too does the line between hero and killer.
Starring Air Force Amy (HBO’s Cathouse), Leonora Scelfo (Scream) as Judy, and Andrew Pierson (Devour, Alien Horde) as the tormented Sergeant Barney Griffith, A Soldier’s Descent drags you deep into the mind of a man at war with his memories.
This harrowing horror-thriller isn’t just fiction — it’s a full-throttle plunge into the psychological battlefield of PTSD, guilt, and suppressed rage. With brutal realism and unrelenting dread, A Soldier’s Descent blurs the line between trauma and terror… and not everyone makes it out alive.
He was built to kill. Trained to survive.
But when the war ends, the real nightmare begins.
A Soldier’s Descent follows a government-trained killing machine thrust back into civilian life — only to find nothing feels real anymore. The world has moved on… but he’s still trapped in the memories of war — and what he’s become.
Where most films shy away from the raw reality of veteran PTSD and suicide, A Soldier’s Descent stares it dead in the face — and adds a knife to its hand.
Blending pulse-pounding action with psychological terror, this film doesn’t just push boundaries — it obliterates them. It’s a high-intensity, emotionally charged descent into madness that dares to turn trauma into a slasher villain.
This is horror with a purpose. Violence with a voice.
And once the descent begins… there’s no coming back.
