Proving herself to be a singular voice with Raw and Titane, writer-director Julia Ducournau is going for a body-horror hat trick with Alpha.
Set to a haunting piano rendition of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ “The Mercy Seat,” the trailer below previews an apocalyptic exploration of addiction through the eyes of a child.
Originally due out this past October, the film will now hit theaters on March 27, 2026 via Neon.
It follows Alpha, a troubled 13-year-old who lives with her single mom. Their world collapses the day she returns from school with a tattoo on her arm.
Tahar Rahim (Madame Web), Golshifteh Farahani (Extraction), and Mélissa Boros star with Emma Mackey (Death on the Nile), Finnegan Oldfield (Infested), and Louai El Amrousy.
Alpha premiered in competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, earning Ducournau her second Palme d’Or nomination. Titane took home the prestigious award back in 2021.
