Watch the official trailer.

Redux Redux follows Irene, who hunts her daughter’s killer across multiple universes using multiverse travel.

Irene (Michaela McManus) is on a revenge journey to brutally murder the man responsible for the death of her only daughter. In due time, Irene is successful and finds Neville (Jeremy Holm), the disgusting man responsible for her daughter’s death. However, killing once isn’t enough. You see, Irene can currently travel through parallel universes thanks to a large machine. Irene is determined not only to obtain vengeance in each multiverse but also hopes that, at some point, she may find a world different from the tragic ones she keeps experiencing.

Redux Redux follows Irene and Mia as they flee across the multiverse searching for freedom.

While travelling into a new multiverse, Irene is taken by surprise to discover one of Neville’s victims still alive. Thanks to her intervention, the victim, Mia (Sella Marcus), escapes. Irene joins forces with the quick-thinking teenager who can talk her way out of trouble. Now Irene and Mia must work together, stay united, and keep running. But the question remains: will they ever find a universe filled with peace and freedom, or are they doomed no matter what?

Redux Redux blends action, drama, and sci fi, directed by Kevin McManus and Matthew McManus.

Redux Redux seamlessly blends multiple genres, making it a film that will appeal to a wide audience with a mix of action, emotional drama, gripping thrills, and, my personal favourite: a fusion of fantasy and sci-fi. Writers and directors Kevin McManus and Matthew McManus have previously collaborated on The Block Island Sound (2020) and Funeral Kings (2012). For me, this was my first time experiencing their work on the big screen.

Redux Redux is a twist filled sci fi thriller with a gripping premise.

The storytelling in this film is razor-sharp, and its sci-fi elements are consistently engaging. From the very beginning, the film hooks its audience, following Irene on a Groundhog Day-style killer spree in which she repeatedly kills the same man in different ways, times, and places. A compelling mystery unfolds around the death of her daughter and the introduction of Mia, but the story doesn’t stop there. New reveals keep coming, and unexpected twists continue to surprise and thrill throughout. Sci-fi fans will especially delight in the inventive concepts scattered throughout the film: think The Terminator meets Predestination.

A gripping sci-fi ride

Overall, Redux Redux is a fantastic blend of thriller and sci-fi, packed with strong concepts, clever twists, and a steady sense of suspense throughout. Think The Terminator meets Predestination, and you have a film that deserves far more attention than it’s currently getting. The opening alone delivers a simple yet highly effective hook that pulls you in immediately. From there, watching the chain of events unfold and expand on a much larger scale genuinely took me by surprise, and by the end, I had an absolute blast with this release. The performances are solid across the board, with Jeremy Holm standing out as the film’s relentless and deeply unsettling villain. Visually, the film is striking from start to finish, elevating the experience even further. If you’re seeking a refreshing sci-fi mystery full of surprises, strap in and experience a new kind of multiverse.

Redux Redux (2025) is Now Available on Digital thanks to Umbrella!
