Chroma is bringing crypto horror to the digital marketplace with the North American release of NFT: Cursed Images, the debut feature from writer-director Jonas Odenheimer. The London-shot supernatural thriller arrives on Digital HD March 6, alongside a limited theatrical run.
Fresh off a strong festival circuit presence, NFT: Cursed Images made its world premiere at the 2024 British Horror Film Festival, where it swept major awards including Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and the Rising Star Award. The film positions itself as both a cautionary tech parable and a gateway horror experience for a generation shaped by digital identity and financial uncertainty.
Starring David Wayman (The Ledge), Mariah Nonnemacher (Terminator: Dark Fate), Durassie Kiangangu, Amelie Edwards, Nobuse Jnr, Jasmine Clark, Charlie Rich, and Najarra Townsend (The Stylist, Dementia: Part II), the film follows seven London friends who stumble upon a coveted NFT collection known as “Crypto Horrors.” What begins as a chance at profit and online clout quickly turns lethal when the digital creatures depicted in the NFTs begin manifesting in the real world.
As panic spreads both offline and across online communities, the film escalates into a survival thriller that merges cursed media mythology with modern crypto anxiety. Conventional horror solutions fail, and the group realizes they are no longer just collectors — they are targets.
Odenheimer, who also produced the film under his Old Jim Productions banner, described the project as a generational horror story. “My team and I wanted to create not only a gateway horror film for younger audiences entering scary movie culture, but also a movie that feels relatable to a generation whose biggest anxieties revolve around their financial future,” he said ahead of the U.S. release.
In a marketing move that mirrors the film’s premise, NFT: Cursed Images has partnered with VeVe Digital Collectibles to offer a limited-edition digital collectible tied directly to the film. Viewers who scan a QR code embedded in the official trailer can claim one of 6,666 free collectibles featuring a creature from the movie — blurring the line between promotional gimmick and meta commentary.
Beginning March 6, the film will be available to rent or own on Digital HD platforms including Apple TV, Prime Video, and Fandango at Home.
If cursed videotapes defined one era of tech horror, NFT: Cursed Images suggests the next wave may be minted on the blockchain.
