Millennium Entertainment Acquires Sundance Horror Comedy ‘Hell Baby’
Speaking of…
Borys Kit of the Hollywood Reporter tweeted that Millennium Entertainment has picked up U.S. rights to horror-comedy Hell Baby, written & directed by Robert Ben Garant & Thomas Lennon. It will follow the VOD before theatrical model.
The film starring Rob Corddry, Leslie Bibb, Rob Huebel, Paul Scheer, Riki Lindhome and Keegan-Michael Key premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to mixed reviews. Bloody Disgusting’s Ryan Daley was not a fan, either.
“In the horror comedy, a young expectant couple moves in to New Orleans most haunted fixer-upper and calls upon The Vatican’s elite exorcism team to save them from a demonic baby. Lennon and Garant will portray that team.“
