Some fresh acquisition news is here for Bryan Bertino’s next film as Variety is reporting that Atlas Independent and Unbroken Pictures have sold horror film There Are Monsters, starring Zoe Kazan, to A24 for U.S. distribution. Embankment Films is selling the feature to international territories at the Cannes Film Festival.
Production will start this summer in Ottawa, Canada.
Synopsis:
From the creator of The Strangers comes a world of the lost: freezing, spitting needles of rain, thunderbolt lightning, hypothermic cold, and disorientating utter darkness.
A mother and daughter are trapped and tormented in a black forest by a screeching creature – it is unlike anything we have heard before. Not human. Not animal. Like a thousand horses, like a mother’s clamour, a baby’s wail, a father’s howl.
Their relationship at the breaking point, 10-year-old Lizzy is all out of faith in her mother, Kathy (Elisabeth Moss), but tries to stay brave and fearless. Kathy, on the edge and barely keeping it together, knows that only a mother’s protective love, her most primal instinct, can save her daughter from what’s lurking in the darkness…
