We have good news about the new flick from Manuel Carballo (Exorcismus). Foreign rights have sold for Australia, Latin America, Taiwan, the Middle East, and Indonesia at the Toronto International Film Festival. Production begins September 24th in and around Toronto.

At no point does the couple imagine that the real threat is a lot closer than they think…
