Woodforest, Texas (September 1st, 2026) — Woodforest Studios announces the release of Assassin Within. A psychological action thriller now available for purchase on Apple TV and Amazon Prime. A notorious assassin is captured and imprisoned inside a simulated reality controlled by a powerful AI. Trapped in a remote house surrounded by an endless forest. He begins to uncover hidden paths within the system — but the deeper he goes, the more he realizes the simulation isn’t just a prison… it’s an interrogation. Now, he must escape before the organization controlling it extracts the secrets buried in his mind — because time is running out.
“Identity, control, and what it costs to survive a system designed to break you — that’s what this film is about,” said Dervis. “We made it independently, with conviction, and built every frame around psychological tension rather than spectacle.”
Written, directed by and starring British actor and filmmaker Cengiz Dervis — releasing transactionally September 1st, streaming October 1st, 2026. Assassin Within is available now on: Amazon Prime and Apple TV.
