If genre enthusiasts thought they had seen it all, 2026 is rapidly proving to be an unprecedented golden year for horror. The year has been delivering a relentless wave of inventive scares, blood-soaked thrills, and high-profile cinematic nightmares that are serving fans like no other. Just when it seems the cinematic year has peaked, another massive project materializes to raise the stakes.

The latest genre obsession making waves brings together a star-studded cast for a highly anticipated Scout Taylor-Compton horror thriller. Olivia Holt, Jaimie Alexander, and Rohan Campbell have officially headed overseas to Spain to lead the chilling new feature, titled Survive: The Game.

Deadline has reported that Scout Taylor-Compton's Survive: The Game has sought out Olivia Holt (Heart Eyes), Jaimie Alexander (Thor), and Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends) to lead the horror thriller. The film is presently being filmed in Gipuzkoa, Spain, at Zinealdea Studios and on location in Irún, Spain.

Principal photography is officially underway across Spain, utilizing the facilities at Zinealdea Studios alongside scenic backdrops in Irún, for the chilling new horror feature. Spearheaded by actress-turned-director Scout Taylor-Compton (hailed for her genre roots in the Halloween series), the project features a screenplay co-penned by Taylor-Compton and Michael Kennedy.

According to Deadline, the narrative centers on a terrifying premise: a group of companions retreats to an isolated cabin with a blood-soaked history, only to uncover a mysterious antique board game. Once unsealed, every throw of the dice manifests a fatal reality, trapping the participants in a desperate race where completion is the sole path to survival.
