#Cult (2026) Plot: What We Know So Far
#Cult (original title: #కల్ట్) is an upcoming Telugu-language film that blends horror, action and thriller. The setup is simple and unsettling. A group of young men set out for a party, looking forward to a carefree night out. Somewhere along the way, the evening stops being a celebration. The atmosphere turns hostile and the danger becomes real. Soon their only goal is to make it through the night alive.
The film’s listed keywords give a hint of its tone: revenge, drugs and the conventions of the slasher thriller.
