Appofeniacs is a wild and gory indie horror that reimagines apophenia, the human tendency to see patterns in chaos, for the digital age. The film follows Duke, a creator who unleashes deepfake videos with no concern for the consequences. His manipulations ignite a spiral of paranoia, violence, and dark comedy, where truth itself begins to decay. Blending psychological horror with sharp social satire, the film explores the dangers of deepfake technology and the fragility of reality online. Appofeniacs made its world premiere at UK FrightFest in August 2025 and celebrated its North American premiere at the 20th edition of Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas.
