“No good deed goes unpunished.” That’s the premise of the new horror movie Processing Charlie from first time filmmaker David Harari.
Making its debut during the Screamfest 2026 horror film festival, Processing Charlie is the story of what happens when the wrong family member comes to visit. It’s a terrifying reminder that sometimes doing the right thing can lead to deadly consequences.
Here’s everything we know about Processing Charlie.
