Grind (2026) is a savage workplace horror anthology that turns modern employment anxiety into something genuinely nightmarish. Built around four interconnected stories, the film exposes the dark underbelly of the gig economy, hustle culture, and late-stage capitalism, where survival is no longer metaphorical but terrifyingly literal.
Grind presents a world where ordinary jobs hide extraordinary horrors. Delivery drivers, office workers, and disposable laborers are pushed to their limits, discovering that clocking out does not mean escaping the system. Each story feeds into the next, creating a shared universe where exploitation is the true monster.
The film’s strength lies in how grounded its fears feel. Instead of relying on traditional supernatural rules, Grind draws horror from exhaustion, invisibility, and economic pressure. The threats feel personal because they mirror real-world stress, turning familiar workplaces into hostile environments where trust, safety, and dignity slowly disappear.
The cast adds weight and credibility to the anthology. Barbara Crampton brings genre authority and emotional depth, while Mercedes Mason delivers a raw performance that captures burnout and desperation with unsettling realism. Rob Huebel injects darkly ironic energy, and Aubrey Shea adds vulnerability that makes the horror hit harder.
