Cheap Thrills Headed Our Way Courtesy of Drafthouse Films and Cinedigm

Ever since Cheap Thrills scooped up the prestigious New Flesh Award at this year’s Fantasia Film Festival, we’ve been eagerly anticipating release news. And today it has arrived! Read on for details.

Cinedigm announced that they’re partnering up with Alamo Drafthouse’s Drafthouse Films to release a slew of critically-acclaimed films next year, on home video, VOD, broadcast television and even in theaters. They’re first turning their attention to Cheap Thrills, which will be getting a theatrical release in February of 2014 and a pre-theatrical VOD release one month prior.

They’re also going to be releasing Ben Wheatley’s A Field in England, which doesn’t yet have an official date. But we’ll be sure to let you know when it does!

The E.L. Katz directed Cheap Thrills stars David Koechner, Ethan Embry, Amanda Fuller, and Innkeepers costars Pat Healy and Sara Paxton.

The script is by Trent Haaga (Deadgirl) and David Chirchirillo.
