Lionsgate has released My Best Friend’s Dead, a supernatural horror-comedy from writer-director Bruce Wemple (The North Witch), on VOD and digital platforms today, May 26, 2026. The film is available to rent and own, with an electronic sell-through price of $8.99.
Set in a remote New England town, My Best Friend’s Dead follows a young woman who has withdrawn from the world following the tragic murder of her best friend. Consumed by grief and longing, she attempts to bring her soulmate back from the dead — but instead conjures a demon that escapes into the real world and turns her quiet community into a terrifying hellscape. Wemple’s film is a wild, witty modern horror story about isolation, delusion, and the supernatural, leaning into dark humor without sacrificing the scares.
Wemple directs from a screenplay by Anna Shields. The cast includes Caitlin Duffy (TV’s Good Trouble, The Tomorrow Job, First Contact), Shields (The North Witch, First Contact, Dawn of the Beast), Dylan Grunn (Whelm, The Retreat, Monstrous), and Catharine Daddario (IF, The Tomorrow Job). The film runs 81 minutes and is rated R for violent content and language.
My Best Friend’s Dead is available now on VOD and digital platforms from Lionsgate.
