There’s a new supernatural thriller hitting streaming services this holiday season, and it’s arriving with an unusual release strategy that gives horror fans an early look before its wider debut. PROJECT CHILD: PERFECT KNIGHT, from Studio Dome, is now available for early-access rental on BloodStream TV ahead of its arrival on Amazon Prime Video on Tuesday, December 1, 2026. This science fiction, action and horror feature, written, directed and produced by Robin Deeter and Damian C. King for PSY Spark Productions, with additional production by Rob Mulligan, promises a blend of martial arts mayhem and soul-searching drama. The official trailer is out now, and horror enthusiasts can rent the film immediately at Bloodstream.TV.
The story centers on Julia Perryman, played by breakout star Rebecca Stoughton, a woman who has spent five years running from the memory of her younger sister’s death at the hands of a demon. That grief transforms her into an agent of the Directorate, a covert organization that hunts human souls corrupted by a powerful force, using a soul-powered ability called the Psyspark. Her mentor, Derek Knowall (Robin Deeter), represents everything she is not: measured, loyal and unshakeable. On her first real mission, Julia disobeys orders to rescue a young girl marked for death—a single act of mercy that sets off a conspiracy and places her directly in the path of Abraxas, the demon that killed her sister. As Julia discovers her own powers, she begins to question the Directorate’s cardinal rule—sacrifice the few for the many—and its belief that every corrupted soul must be eliminated. And as Julia and Derek fall for each other, that same rule forces Derek to choose between the woman he loves and the order he has devoted his life to. The film’s tagline captures its central tension: We Fall Only to Rise.
Rebecca Stoughton, recently highlighted by People and Deadline as one of the most notable stars working in vertical drama today, leads the cast. Her more than 40 vertical drama titles have drawn over 614 million views on platforms like ReelShort and DramaBox. She is joined by Robin Deeter, Damian C. King and Jack Pearson, whose combined work spans more than 200 feature, web and television projects, along with vertical drama favorites Kalinda Grey, Kaitlin Sanders and Emily Gately. The ensemble also includes Eric Parham, Charlit Dae, Sai Yang, Elizabeth Navello and Sebla Demi.

Deeter, born in Korea and adopted by an American family at age seven, is an award-recognized performer whose background spans musical theater and songwriting. King has more than 35 credits as a producer and director and has created hundreds of episodes, features and shorts that have reached hundreds of millions of viewers. Together, they built the world of the Directorate, the Psyspark and the mysterious entity Ikol as original intellectual property with room to expand into sequels and series storytelling. The action-driven production draws on martial-arts and sword-fighting disciplines, with that training required for multiple roles including the lead. Behind the camera, the department heads include cinematographer Alex Raaen, composer Michael Rubino and editor Matt Pavlo.
On the festival circuit, PROJECT CHILD: PERFECT KNIGHT was a 2026 semifinalist for Best Feature at Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival, and won Best Director for Deeter and King, along with Best Editing, at the 2026 Hollywood International Diversity Film Festival. “We wanted to make a genre film with real emotional stakes. Julia and Derek are fighting demons, but the hardest battle is the one between love and duty. Having the film available now on BloodStream and on Amazon on December 1 means audiences everywhere can finally step into this world with us,” said actor, writer, director and producer Robin Deeter.
“Project Child pulls you in with supernatural action, but it stays with you because of Julia’s choice: destroy the corrupted or believe they can be saved. That conflict gives the film a heart beneath the spectacle, and it’s exactly the kind of independent genre storytelling we want to champion,” said David Josh Lawrence, Head of Acquisitions at Studio Dome.
