Actor Mitch Alcala steps into his most psychologically complex role yet in a new supernatural thriller set to premiere January 10, 2026. Blending mystery with dark fantasy, the film explores fame, temptation, and the devastating cost of ambition in a world where success is never free.

Set against the sinister underbelly of the music industry, the story imagines a chilling alternate reality where the devil establishes his own record label, Epic REDD Recordz. From this empire, demons are dispatched to the mortal world to lure aspiring singers with promises of instant stardom. The catch is absolute: fortune and fame in exchange for their souls. As artists sign away their futures, a trail of unexplained disappearances and gruesome deaths begins to surface, cases too strange to ignore, and too dangerous to fully understand.

At the center of the investigation is Detective Smith, played by Mitch Alcala with raw intensity. Smith is a seasoned investigator haunted by his past, struggling with alcoholism while attempting to hold onto his sense of justice.

He is forced to confront a literal embodiment of temptation, a demon known as “the girl in REDD” whose influence reaches into the deepest corners of his own mind.

Detective Smith’s internal battle mirrors the external chaos he investigates, creating a layered portrait of a man fighting both addiction and an enemy that thrives on weakness. Alcala’s performance brings authenticity to the role, portraying a character whose flaws are as compelling as his determination. Rather than presenting Smith as a traditional hero, the film allows him to exist in moral gray zones, making his journey all the more gripping.
