Directed by Jay Alaimo and produced by Gianni Capaldi and Enzo Cilenti, The Wicked Within joins a stable of 8 frightening films to be featured by the esteemed horror company.
“Each of our 8 films has a certain trait that makes it stand apart from the others,” says Stephanie Caleb, EVP, Creative Affairs & Acquisitions. “The Wicked Within is a classic horror possession story with relatable characters and nightmares that linger.”

It is the type of film you don’t want to find yourself alone after having watched it. We are thrilled that After Dark got excited about it, and there can be no better company to partner with to expose this tale of hell-bent possession to North America.”
