Universal City, California, October 6, 2025 – Are you willing to sacrifice everything? As it continues its theatrical run, HIM, a Monkeypaw Production starring Marlon Wayans, is now available to buy or rent for the first time exclusively on digital* platforms tomorrow. The dark, twisted, sinister spectacle becomes available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD November 11, 2025, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

Academy Award®-winning producer Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions present a chilling journey into the dark side of the pursuit of excellence at any cost. Attacked by an unhinged fan, quarterback Cameron Cade receives a lifeline when his football idol Isaiah White offers to train him. But as Isaiah’s charisma curdles into something sinister, Cam descends a disorienting spiral that may cost him more than he bargained for. Jordan Peele calls HIM “a perfect Monkeypaw film because of the mischief in the idea alone.”
HIM features incredible must-see performances from multi-faceted performer Marlon Wayans (Air, Respect), breakout star Tyriq Withers (“Atlanta”, I Know What You Did Last Summer), Julia Fox (Uncut Gems, Presence), Tim Heidecker (Us) and Jim Jefferies (“The Jim Jefferies Show”). The vicious thriller is directed by Justin Tipping (Kicks, “Joe vs. Carole”) from an acclaimed Black List screenplay by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (“Limetown”) and by Justin Tipping. Produced by Jordan Peele (Candyman, BlacKkKlansman), Ian Cooper (Nope, Us), Win Rosenfeld (Candyman, Lovecraft Country) and Jamal M. Watson (Hala, Sprinter) for Monkeypaw Productions and executive produced by David Kern and Monkeypaw’s Kate Oh, HIM reaches legend status within the horror genre.
