Stomach It comes to Crypt TV and Cannes

ISOTRE Films, and director Peter Klausner are thrilled to announce the Crypt TV and Cannes premieres of STOMACH IT on May 15, 2026.

Following a prestigious festival run at some of the most renowned 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 compartmentalisation and self-destruction.

“I’ve been a fan of Crypt TV for years, and it’s been such a valuable place to watch and learn from these innovative horror shorts. I’m so happy Stomach It will be playing on the channel, and I think their viewers will appreciate the body horror route we took with the film,” said Klausner.

“Crypt TV is excited to premiere Stomach It, going live this Friday (May 15, 2026) and is proud to partner with the best horror, thriller, and sci-fi short films,” said Dan Bush, Director of Post Production and Distribution ZATV, Inc.
