Vishwaksen’s ‘CULT’ Teaser Unleashes Dark Slasher Chaos

Mass Ka Das Vishwaksen has unveiled the teaser of his bold new global slasher film CULT, instantly setting social media abuzz with its dark, violent, and intense tone. Produced by Sandeep Kakarala under Tarak Cinemas in association with Vanmaye Creations, the film marks one of the most daring chapters of Vishwaksen’s career, as he takes full creative control by handling the story, screenplay, and direction. Marketed as India’s first true slasher film and inspired by disturbing real-life incidents, CULT promises a raw cinematic experience that breaks away from conventional Indian film storytelling.
The teaser introduces a group of young friends who travel to Goa for fun, only to be denied entry into a pub for being stags. What looks like a ruined night suddenly turns exciting when they gain access to an exclusive party through special Cult Passes. The mood shifts dramatically when the party host reveals a deadly game where survival becomes the only rule. As the night spirals into horror and people start getting killed one by one with no escape, the arrival of a mysterious Game Master changes the stakes completely, raising the chilling question of whether he is a saviour or a bigger threat.
With CULT, Vishwaksen brings a new genre to Indian cinema, presenting a narrative that is bold, gritty, bloody, and unapologetically brutal. The teaser moves from youthful energy to violent chaos in seconds, creating a gripping sense of dread. Vishwaksen’s writing and direction stand out for their edgy approach and immersive world-building. The film features a largely young cast with around 100 newcomers, giving the performances a raw and realistic feel. Vishwaksen’s late entry in the teaser leaves a strong impact, with his ruthless and menacing screen presence adding weight to the narrative and elevating the intensity.
The ensemble cast includes Gayatri Bharadwaj, Tarak Ponnappa, Murali Sharma, Srikanth Iyengar, Karthikeya, Anirudh Bhaskar, EZY, Yagnya Turlapati, Kabeer Bhartiya, Vishak Nair, and Chepuri Vivek, bringing varied energy to the survival horror setting. The film is backed by a strong technical team, with sharp dialogues by Tharun Bhascker, a powerful and intense background score by Ravi Basrur, striking visuals by cinematographer Arvind Vishwanathan, crisp editing by Ravi Teja Girijala, and rich production design by Arvind Mule. The teaser highlights high production values and a polished cinematic scale that matches the film’s global ambition.
Aiming for an international reach, CULT is being prepared for a multilingual release in Telugu, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, and English. With its violent slasher theme, intense mood, and global presentation, the teaser has set high expectations and positioned the film as one of the most talked-about upcoming Indian genre films, drawing curiosity from audiences both in India and abroad.
