Demon Core

Dr. Alice Reed first sees the plutonium sphere her colleagues call the 'Demon Core'. Her fingers nearly touch the metallic surface, separated only by a thin layer of her glove. The Los Alamos laboratory of 1946 operates by its own rules—a place where brilliant minds play with forces capable of ending the world. When another controlled experiment spirals beyond control, Alice finds herself at the epicenter of an invisible catastrophe. This 2026 sci-fi horror film explores the boundary between knowledge and madness, where the most terrifying monster is born not in dark corners, but under the sterile glow of laboratory lights. The story draws from real historical events surrounding the lethal 'demon core' that claimed several scientists' lives.
