This March’s SXSW Film Festival is brimming with horror films, many of which already have distribution, including The Cellar, the Irish horror film written and directed by Brendan Muldowney and starring Elisha Cuthbert (House of Wax) and Eoin Macken (The Forest, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter).
Following the film’s World Premiere, RLJE Films will release the haunter in limited theaters and on VOD platforms on April 15th, while Shudder will stream it in North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand on the same day, reports Deadline.
“The Cellar centers on Keira Woods (Cuthbert), whose daughter mysteriously vanishes in the cellar of their new house in the country.
“Keira soon discovers there is an ancient and powerful entity controlling their home that she will have to face or risk losing her family’s souls forever.”
The pic, an Ireland-Belgium co-production, was filmed on location in Roscommon, Ireland and was spawned by Muldowney from his short film “The Ten Steps”.
Conor Barry of Savage Productions and Richard Bolger of Hail Mary Pictures are producers, co-produced with Benoit Roland from Wrong Men Films in Belgium. Executive producers are Patrick Ewald of Epic Pictures Group, Lesley McKimm of Screen Ireland, John Gleeson and Oisín O’Neill for BCP Asset Management, Sarah Dillon of the WRAP Fund and Patrick O’Neill of Wildcard Distribution.
