Spotlight Pictures has acquired international sales rights for the female psycho thriller, The Hive, Bloody Disgusting learned while also obtaining the first photo.

Written and directed by Jeff Kopas, The Hive stars Shenae Grimes-Beech from TV’s “90210”, alongside Kenneth Mitchell, Don Mckeller, and Gil Bellows.

“The Hive follows an estranged woman (Grimes-Beech) who returns to her family’s fly-in hunting lodge after a decade in order to assist her siblings with their dying father, only to find herself caught in a terrifying nightmare.

“Director Jeff Kopas channels Roman Polanski in this riveting female psycho thriller,” said Carlos Rincon, Head of Acquisitions at Spotlight Pictures.

The Hive is produced by Jeff Kopas, Ryan Reaney, and Robert Budreau with executive producers Marina Cordoni and Doug Taylor, who also co-wrote. The film is in the final stages of post-production and is set to screen for buyers at AFM.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
