SCREAMBOX is preparing a feast for next Easter.
Cinedigm, Bloody Disgusting, and SCREAMBOX have acquired all North American rights to the buzzed-about psychological horror film Family Dinner, which first premiered at Tribeca earlier this year.
Deadline first reported the news.
The buzz surrounding this Austrian horror film has increased steadily, with its recent inclusion in the Next Wave Competition at Fantastic Fest and upcoming screenings at Beyond Fest and Sitges.
In Family Dinner, a teenager spends the holidays at her aunt’s farm in the hope of getting help to lose weight, but soon after her arrival, she begins to suspect that something is very wrong at this place.
Written and directed by Peter Hengl, Cinedigm plans to release early next year, streaming exclusively on the widely regarded horror platform SCREAMBOX, which is powered by Bloody Disgusting.
“Easter brings the slow simmer to a roaring boil. Fraught psychological dread explodes in violent horror,” wrote Meagan Navarro out of the Tribeca World Premiere.
“Family Dinner is like watching from afar as Alice begins a slow disturbing descent down the rabbit hole. The momentarily serene mask that Hengl creates quickly falls away revealing how close the monsters from our nightmares might be. This is the kind of film that gets inside you, and just won’t go away,” said Brad Miska, Managing Director of Bloody Disgusting.
Family Dinner is Hengl’s first feature as a director and second as a writer. The film stars Pia Hierzegger (The Ground Beneath My Feet), Michael Pink (Skyfall), Alexander Sladek (Knall Genial) & introduces Nina Katlein
The deal was negotiated by Brandon Hill, Acquisitions Manager, on behalf of Cinedigm and Pip Ngo on behalf of XYZ and filmmakers.
