20th Century Studios’ Psycho Killer Hits Digital April 7

The move signals a quick pivot to at-home viewing for a low-grossing horror title with minimal home-video support.

Overview

  • Psycho Killer will be available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home on Tuesday, April 7.
  • Centered on a Kansas highway patrol officer pursuing her husband's killer, the film carries an R rating for strong bloody violence, explicit sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use, and harsh language.
  • The screenplay is by Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker, and veteran producer Gavin Polone makes his feature directing debut.
  • After a reported sub-$10 million budget and about $2.5 million at the box office, the digital release arrives without special features and with no planned 4K, Blu‑ray, or DVD.
  • Critical response has been poor, with SlashFilm citing a 10% Rotten Tomatoes critic score and a 37% audience score, and coverage suggests a likely Hulu window a few weeks after the digital debut.
