Check out The New Trailer for ‘Kombucha’ The Office Horror That Ferments Madness
A wild new indie horror film is brewing, and it’s called Kombucha. This one looks like the kind of strange, funny, and twisted movie that ends up becoming a cult favorite. It’s rough around the edges but smart, sharp, and totally entertaining.
Directed by Jake Myers and written by Geoff Bakken and Myers, Kombucha mixes horror and comedy in a story that hits close to home for anyone who’s ever worked a soul-sucking office job.
The movie dives deep into the nightmare of corporate culture, where “team synergy” and “wellness” are just fancy ways to keep you trapped.
The story follows Luke, played by Terrence Carey, a struggling musician whose dreams haven’t exactly worked out. After running into his old friend Andy, played by Jesse Kendall, Luke gets offered a job at a company called Symbio. It’s one of those shiny, wellness-obsessed workplaces that looks fun on the outside but hides something darker underneath.
Luke takes the job after breaking up with his girlfriend Elyse, played by Paige Bourne, who’s tired of waiting for him to make it big. Things start out fine until his boss Kelsey, played by Claire McFadden, introduces him to the company’s special kombucha—a drink made “just for employees.” After that, everything goes downhill fast.

The kombucha turns out to be more than a trendy drink. It’s a mind-altering brew that makes people work themselves to death, both literally and figuratively. It’s the kind of horror that makes you laugh one minute and cringe the next because it feels a little too real.
The film stars Zoe Agapinan, Charin Alvarez, and Rachel Benson. With its mix of satire, gore, and dark humor, Kombucha feels like The Office directed by David Cronenberg, funny, disturbing, and a little too relatable.
Kombucha hits theaters on December 2, and if early buzz is anything to go by, this might be the next indie horror everyone’s talking about.
