Filmmaker/actor Osgood Perkins (son of the legendary Psycho star Anthony Perkins) made his directorial debut with the horror flick February, which stars Emma Roberts, James Remar, Lauren Holly, and Kiernan Shipka. Thankfully, the boys and girls at DirecTV and A24 have acquired distribution rights to the flick, though we don’t have a release date to share as of this writing.
The film has generated some pretty strong reviews at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which is likely why A24 didn’t waste any time snapping this one up for distribution. And if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, then you can fix that problem at the bottom of this article.
This synopsis should help set the stage:
Beautiful and haunted Joan makes a bloody and determined pilgrimage across a frozen landscape toward a prestigious all-girls prep school where Rose and Kat find themselves stranded after their parents mysteriously fail to retrieve them for winter break. As Joan gets closer, terrifying visions begin plaguing Kat while Rose watches in horror as she becomes possessed by an unseen evil force.
As soon as we figure out when February is about to hit theaters, VOD, or DVD/Blu-ray, we’ll certainly let you know. Until then, feast your eyes on the trailer down below.
