Dark Atlantic has announced the North American digital release of Strawstalker, the latest found footage horror feature from writer, director, and star George Henry Horton (Dark Obsession, Project Dorothy). The film is now available to rent or own on Digital HD, including Prime Video, through Indie Rights.
Strawstalker follows Henry and Haley, a fame-obsessed content creator couple who move into Oak Bridge — a Los Angeles neighborhood marketed as the safest place in the city. With cameras always rolling and their curated lives on display, they soon discover that Oak Bridge isn’t interested in being part of their brand. When a theatrical scarecrow appears behind their backyard hedge, Henry dismisses it as a viral prank. But the footage changes. A local warns them that the creature hunts those who aren’t what they seem — and in Oak Bridge, the land has a long memory, the neighbors are always watching, and the camera never stops rolling.
Horton directs from his own screenplay and headlines the film alongside Branika Scott, Vincent Ranola, Dallas Steinback, Emily Rafala, and Gary Kasper. He produced Strawstalker with longtime creative partner Ryan Scaringe (Send a Scare, The Djinn). The film runs 81 minutes.
“I’ve always felt that scarecrows don’t get enough love,” said Horton. “They’re inherently creepy, but also a little theatrical, which felt perfect for something that could be both unsettling and fun. We wanted to embrace that balance. It’s a film that plays with fear, but also with the absurdity of it all. There’s a campfire quality to it. Strawstalker knows what it is, and it invites the audience in on the campy ride.”
Strawstalker is now available to stream and purchase on Prime Video and other digital platforms via Indie Rights.
