A dating-app swipe meant to spice up an exhausted marriage instead opens the door to something that was never human, in this 2024 horror thriller.
What is Succubus about?
New fatherhood has left its lead worn thin, and his marriage is quietly sliding apart. Looking for a distraction, he opens a dating app and matches with someone unlike anyone he has met — a connection that starts as fantasy and quickly bends into something stranger and more dangerous. As the encounters escalate, the line between temptation and threat blurs, pulling him further from the family he is failing to hold together. The film keeps its horror grounded in domestic exhaustion rather than jump scares, using the dating-app premise to explore guilt, isolation, and the small betrayals that open the door to bigger ones.
Cast & crew
Cast and crew details for this release are limited in K-Time's catalog; the film is credited as a 2024 production blending drama, horror, and thriller elements rather than leaning on a single well-known ensemble.
Context & significance
Succubus belongs to a wave of recent horror films that use everyday technology — dating apps, messaging, video calls — as the entry point for something ancient and predatory, swapping haunted houses for phone screens. Its focus on new-parent burnout and marital strain gives the horror a domestic, grounded texture rather than a purely supernatural one, and the 2024 release sits alongside similar low-budget genre efforts that favor slow dread over spectacle. Viewers drawn to horror built on isolation and self-doubt, rather than gore for its own sake, will find the pacing deliberate rather than restrained for lack of ideas.
Where & how to watch
Succubus is available on K-Time with Farsi dubbing and Farsi subtitles. The film's page is free to browse without an account; streaming the movie itself requires logging in, through an interface built for Persian-speaking viewers.
