The trailer for Albert Birney’s OBEX has been unveiled.

Here’s the film’s synopsis:

In pre-internet 1987, Conor and his dog Sandy live a life of seclusion, lost in the slow-rendering graphics of early Macs and televisions aglow with late night horror movie marathons. But when he begins playing OBEX, a new and mysterious, state-of-the-art computer game, he finds himself trapped in a low-tech, but high-stakes analog hellscape as the line between reality and game blurs.

Birney directs from a script he wrote with Albert Ohs.

Birney also stars alongside Callie Hernandez, Paisley Isaacs, Frank Mosley and Tyler Davis.

In theaters January 9, 2026.
