Found footage films are showing no signs of slowing down, and Adam Mason’s Hangman is the latest in a long line of recent shaky cam efforts. The movie premiered this year at SXSW, and today brings distribution news. So read on for everything you need to know.
Deadline reports that Myriad Pictures has made a deal to handle international sales for Hangman. The pic will be the flagship title of Myriad’s new genre label Scoundrel that will launch this week at the Toronto Film Festival. Scoundrel titles will be sold alongside Myriad’s current slate.
Alchemy has already acquired domestic rights to Hangman, and will release it in the U.S. in February 2016.
Starring Jeremy Sisto, the film tells the story of the Miller family, who return from vacation to find that their home has been broken into. After cleaning up the mess they continue with their lives, shaking off the feeling of being violated. But little do they know the nightmare has just begun and the intruder is still there, playing insidious tricks on them and watching their every move via scattered tiny surveillance cameras from his hiding place in the attic.
Adam Mason directed and co-wrote the script with Simon Boyes, and Kate Ashfield, Ty Simpkins, and Ryan Simpkins co-star.
