According to Variety, Magnolia has acquired U.S. rights to Emergo (which will be known as Apartment 143 here in the States), the latest genre film from Rodrigo Cortes and Adrian Guerra.

Using the same release strategy as on Melancholia, Magnolia will bow Emergo via its Magnet label with an early VOD release timed for April 27th with a theatrical run beginning six weeks later on June 1st.

Written by Cortes, directed by Spanish tyro Carles Torrens, and starring Kai Lennox and Michael O’Keefe, the English-language Emergo turns on a team of high-tech parapsychologists who investigate anomalous phenomena in an old, eerie house.
