Just this past Halloween the trailer was released for Irish-British horror thriller A Dark Song, and now that AFM is in full swing, IFC Midnight (a sister label to IFC Films and Sundance Selects owned and operated by AMC Networks Inc.) has acquired US rights to the film, which was written and directed by Liam Gavin and stars Steve Oram and Catherine Walker.
A Dark Song was produced by David Collins, Tim Dennison, and Cormac Fox and made its world premiere at the 2016 Fantastic Fest.
The deal for the film was negotiated by Matthew Hechinger from Sundance Selects/IFC Films, with Nate Bolotin of XYZ Films on behalf of the filmmakers. The film was financed by the Irish Film Board and Ffilm Cymru Wales. International sales are being handled by Kaleidoscope.
Notes IFC Midnight: “Liam Gavin demonstrates a remarkably unique eye in A DARK SONG, an unnerving film that we’re confident will both frighten and astound audiences. We are very excited to be working once more with XYZ Films and with Liam to release his film in the US.”
Synopsis:
A determined young woman hires a damaged occultist to conduct a magical ritual. The two prepare in a remote house over the course of six months, aware that any flaw in their preparations will result in deadly consequences. Risking their lives and souls, they enter the dangerous, unknown world of dark magic in the hopes it will grant them the one thing they want above all else.
