Georgina Campbell’s latest film, Psycho Killer, will be available to stream in the United States on Hulu and Disney+ on May 29, 2026, 20th Century Studios announced Thursday.
The move comes after a short theatrical window: Psycho Killer premiered on February 20, 2026, and was released in theaters in February 2026, then hit digital VOD platforms in early April 2026. The film runs 91 minutes and carries a synopsis that follows a Kansas highway patrol officer who sets out to track down the perpetrator after the brutal murder of her husband, a man described as a sadistic serial killer with a sinister agenda.
The numbers underline how thin the film’s early reception has been. Psycho Killer sits at 9% on Rotten Tomatoes from 45 reviews, and it has a 36% audience score from over 250 verified ratings. The cast includes Campbell alongside James Preston Rogers, Grace Dove, Logan Miller and Malcolm McDowell. Gavin Polone directed from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker; producers include Roy Lee, Matt Berenson, Andrew Kevin Walker and Arnon Milchan, with Martin Moszkowicz, Robert Kulzer, Yariv Milchan, Natalie Lehmann and Kat Landsberg as executive producers.
20th Century Studios' announcement gives the film a second life on mainstream streaming platforms less than three months after its theatrical debut. For viewers who skipped theaters or the April VOD window, the psycho killer movie will now be available through two major services in the U.S. on the same day.
Context matters: the film was not screened for critics ahead of its release, and its Rotten Tomatoes score places it among rare, strongly negative early returns. That poor critical reception and the modest audience approval have followed the project from its premiere through its home-release rollout.
The friction here is plain. Studios often use streaming to broaden an audience after a strong theatrical run; in this case the pivot to Hulu and Disney+ comes amid weak reviews and a quick digital push. The compressed timeline—premiere February 20, theatrical release in February 2026, VOD in early April 2026 and streaming in late May—raises questions about how the studio is positioning the film and whether the streaming debut is a reset intended to reach viewers who did not see it in theaters.
For the filmmakers and cast listed on the credits—Campbell, Rogers, Dove, Miller and McDowell, director Gavin Polone, writer Andrew Kevin Walker and the producing teams—May 29 will be the moment the widest U.S. audience can judge the film for themselves. The studio’s choice to put Psycho Killer on both Hulu and Disney+ simultaneously gives it a platform that could expose the film to many more viewers than the brief theatrical and VOD windows did.
What happens next is straightforward and immediate: Psycho Killer becomes available to stream in the United States on Hulu and Disney+ on May 29, 2026, letting audiences decide whether the film’s brisk 91-minute runtime and its narrative about a Kansas highway patrol officer hunting a sadistic serial killer land where critics did not.
