Mads Mikkelsen's Monster-Hunting Thriller Hits Digital Platforms
Bryan Fuller's surreal action film featuring the Danish actor as a supernatural assassin arrives on streaming services after a quiet theatrical run that earned less than $1 million worldwide.
Bryan Fuller's directorial debut has made its way to home viewing platforms with little fanfare. The fantasy thriller featuring Mads Mikkelsen as a supernatural assassin is now streaming digitally after a brief theater run last December.
Viewers can rent the R-rated film for $9.99 or buy it outright for $14.99 through major platforms including Apple, Amazon, and Fandango at Home. The movie follows Mikkelsen's character as he hunts creatures that lurk in shadows and strike without warning.
Festival Success Didn't Translate to Box Office
The film earned strong praise when it premiered at Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025. Critics responded well to Fuller's vision and Mikkelsen's performance in the lead role.
But December proved challenging for the theatrical release. The month saw major releases including Five Nights at Freddy's 2, Hamnet, The Housemaid, Marty Supreme, and Avatar: Fire and Ash competing for audience attention.
Modest Financial Performance
The crowded release schedule likely contributed to the film's underwhelming box office performance. Worldwide ticket sales reached approximately $900,000 during its limited run.
Fuller, known for his television work on shows like Hannibal and American Gods, crafted a surreal take on the action thriller genre. The movie blends fantasy elements with traditional hitman narratives, creating what reviewers described as a unique viewing experience.
Digital availability gives the film a second chance to find its audience. Home viewing often provides opportunities for movies that struggled in theaters to build cult followings.
