Snoop Dogg is making a powerful return to the big screen, this time in the most… “Snoop” role of his life! The legendary rapper stars in Eli Roth’s new horror film, titled Don't Go in That House, Bi–h!, combining music, humor and a cult horror aesthetic. Snoop also participates in the production and soundtrack, signing a film that is already predicted to be a viral success
The legendary rapper returns to the cinema with a role that seems to have been created exclusively for him. The Snoop Dogg, after his appearances in Bones (2001) and Scary Movie 5 (2013), joins forces with Eli Roth — the master of modern horror — for the new, incredibly subversive film Don't Go in That House, Bi–h! that is already making a buzz in Hollywood.
The news was revealed by Variety, confirming that Snoop will have a dual role: star and producer, with an active participation in the creation of the soundtrack. It's a collaboration that unites two worlds — Snoop's urban hip-hop culture and Roth's gore aesthetic. The result? A film project that promises to become a cult classic before it's even released.
Eli Roth, known for the films Hostel, Cabin Fever and Thanksgiving, revealed that the idea started with Snoop's desire to expand his legendary label Death Row into the film industry through Death Row Films. "I said we should make the craziest haunted house movie ever. Something between Friday the 13th, Hausu and House by the Cemetery - a movie so incredible that people won't believe it exists. And Snoop will be the star of it," he said.

The film's title, Don't Go in That House, Bi–h!, is no coincidence. It's a playful reference to what we've all thought or shouted at some point while watching horror movies: "Don't go in there!" Roth explains that the film's characters will embody these voices of the audience, creating a kind of meta horror that combines self-mockery with pure entertainment. "It's like a Greek chorus of horror," he says with a laugh.
Snoop Dogg, on the other hand, seems perfectly comfortable in this cinematic comeback. He has said that he always wanted to bring his personal style and cool energy to a horror project that reflects his own perspective. And indeed, his presence in the film promises to bridge rap culture with horror aesthetics in an explosive mix of sound and image.
The film is expected to begin shooting in June, likely in Los Angeles. Roth said he wants to shoot the film in California with local partners, as part of the California Tax Credit program. “If we get the incentive, we’ll shoot it in LA with LA people,” he said, emphasizing that he wants to maintain its authentic feel.

But the film is not just a horror flick. It is a meta-horror project that comments on, deconstructs and satirizes the genre's very clichés. From the careless heroes who "go to evil" to the voices of the audience that warn them, Roth's film promises to be a cinematic experience where horror meets irony and laughter.
Snoop's involvement in the musical direction is equally important. He is preparing a soundtrack that will combine hip-hop, funk, soul and horror soundscapes, with references to '70s blaxploitation scores. Sources say that the project also involves new producers from the Los Angeles scene, which will give the film a modern, "dark party" sound.

Snoop's relationship with film is nothing new. From cameos in Training Day and Starsky & Hutch to a starring role in Bones, he's proven himself to be a natural in front of the camera. But his new film marks a full-fledged comeback — not just as an actor, but as a creator building his own cinematic universe.
Don't Go in That House, Bi–h! is exactly what you'd expect from Snoop Dogg and Eli Roth: anarchic, funny, scary, and completely different from anything we've seen before. With Snoop's signature cool energy, Roth's caustic humor, and a healthy dose of cult aesthetic, the film looks set to become one of the most talked-about projects of 2026.
And as Variety aptly wrote, “if there's anyone born to shout Don't go in that house, bi–h! on screen, it's definitely Snoop Dogg.”
