Horror REPLACER Adds Cast Members As Filming Continues in Montreal

Psycho-sexual horror Replacer has added to its cast as filming continues in Montreal.

Stranded in Montreal, a troubled DJ, Proxy, meets an alluring artist and his group of friends who run an underground radio station. The station’s broadcast becomes warped by a mysterious signal hidden deep beneath the city’s subway system. Proxy must escape before the sound turns her, and her new friends, into something raw, primal, and unrecognizable.

Joining lead Halsey who plays Proxy are Karl Glusman (Neon Demon) and Juliette Gariépy (Red Rooms). This role marks the Grammy nominated singer’s first as a lead.

Filming on the horror began on 15 September 2026 and will run until 23 October 2026. Shooting takes place in Montreal. Avan Jogia is the co-writer and director on the film. Halsey is the lead and co-writer alongside Jogia. Lilly Wachowski is among exec producers.

Wachowski had this to say:

“Avan and Halsey’s script is a surreal hyper-dive into a twitchy, conspiratorial genre mashing snarl of horror/thriller/comedy, set against the grit and grime of a rarely glimpsed Montreal subculture. This thing is packed! I have the sense that Avan’s eyeballs have gulped down a steady diet of the films I grew up on — David Cronenberg, Alex Cox, Tony Scott, John Carpenter.”

Jogia added:

“Replacer is a bright and electric club horror mashed together with a vulnerable romantic story about belonging and community. Come together. Leave as one.”

Replacer is produced by Kyle Mann of Independent Edge, Isabelle Deluce of Soft Focus Films, and Olivier Picard and David Pierrat of Parce Que Films, with Damiano Tucci, in association with Doom and Gloom Inc, Anarchists United, Monarch Kaleidoscope, Aska Ventures, and Cray LA.
