We’ve covered the hell out of the new vampire flick out of the UK, Dead Cert, here on Dread Central. If only because it shares our initials. Well, not really; we did so because it has vampires of the badass non-sparkling variety. In any event all that coverage is about to pay off because the flick is now on its way Stateside.

According to Screen Daily, following its UK release via Momentum Pictures, Moviehouse’s UK vampire film has been snapped up for US distribution by Shout! Factory for release later this year. It has also sold in France (FIP), Germany (I-ON New Media), and Australia/New Zealand (Visual Entertainment Group) with other deals pending.

Starring Craig Fairbrass and Billy Murray, director Steve Lawson’s Dead Cert follows a gang of tough London gangsters who get more than they bargained for when a group of businessmen make an offer to buy their club, the Inferno. They turn out to be nothing less than vampires wanting their land back and turn viciously on the gangsters when their demands are not met.
