Summary
- Scott Glenn stars as a former Marine facing eviction and murder.
- The film is inspired by classic 60s and 70s giallo horror movies.

Cineverse has secured domestic rights to the upcoming film 'Eugene the Marine,' starring veteran actor Scott Glenn. The movie, directed and co-written by Hank Bedford, is slated for a theatrical release in select cities later in 2026.
Glenn portrays a proud former Marine whose regimented life is disrupted by his son and a series of murders. As he forms new friendships, a serial killer begins targeting those around him.
The film, shot on Super 16mm, draws heavy inspiration from the atmospheric giallo films of the 1960s and 70s. Its score was composed by Angela Aki and Hajime Kawauchi.
'Eugene the Marine' has already garnered attention, selected as the opening night film for the Oldenburg International Film Festival in September 2025. It was also featured on Letterboxd's "Unreleased Gems" showcase. Director Hank Bedford expressed excitement about partnering with Cineverse to bring the film to American theaters, highlighting its "horror with a heart."
Cineverse anticipates bringing Glenn's performance and Bedford's "cinematic fever dream" to North American audiences in the fall of 2026. The film's creative team includes co-writer Cesare Gagliardoni and producers Stephen Vincent, Henry Bedford, and others.
