Azerbaijani Parasite-Horror Feature OBITUS Unveils Official Teaser Trailer

Recfilms has released the official teaser for OBITUS, an upcoming Azerbaijani survival / parasite-horror feature directed by Rec Revan. The 105-minute film is in the Turkish language and is scheduled for theatrical release in Azerbaijan on 19 November 2026.

In the aftermath of a devastating natural disaster, an isolated village becomes a trap. Damien and his daughter Luna are forced into a desperate struggle to survive as escape routes collapse and a parasitic outbreak begins spreading among those left behind. What first appears to be a fight against the elements becomes something far more disturbing as the infection moves through the community and threatens the human body from within. Separated by chaos and driven by the need to reunite, father and daughter face a landscape where the living are increasingly difficult to distinguish from what the outbreak has left behind. OBITUS combines survival horror and body horror in a story about family, loss and the price of staying alive.

Set around an isolated community struck by a natural disaster, OBITUS follows survivors whose attempt to escape one catastrophe leads them toward a spreading parasitic threat. The film combines survival horror, body horror and an outbreak narrative, with a focus on isolation, family, and the physical cost of survival.

At its core, OBITUS is about survival under compounding pressure. The relationship between Damien and his daughter Luna gives the outbreak a personal stake, while the parasite threat explores loss of bodily control, fear of infection and the cost of remaining alive.

Revan Jabbarov (born 28 June 1989 in Sheki, Azerbaijan) is an Azerbaijani film director, producer and founder of Recfilms. He directed Without Shadow (2012), Devil’s Side (2014) and Aporia (2019).
