Freestyle Digital Media has shared with Bloody an exclusive clip from their Mongolian horror film Aberrance, heading to U.S. theaters on October 6, 2023, with a VOD and Digital HD release set for 2024.

Aberrance marks an impressive milestone as the first Mongolian horror feature to be released theatrically in the U.S., introducing Mongolian cinema to new audiences.

The film had its North American premiere at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival to positive reviews as an Official Selection in the Midnighters section.

In Aberrance, when city dwellers Erkhmee and Selenge arrive at an old cabin deep in the Mongolian wilds, a sense of foreboding settles over the couple. Erkhmee’s seemingly keen desire to provide a safe and nurturing space for his artistic wife is at odds with the violent actions and mannerisms their quizzical neighbor observes. As the neighbor digs deeper for the reason behind this aberrant behavior, only more questions and trouble arise.

Aberrance is the theatrical directing debut film by Baatar Batsukh.

The clip features Selenge Chadraabal (Six Feet) and Erkhembayar Ganbat.

“Finally, the Bible is written for the cult of Wes Craven!” raves Grady Hendrix, author of Paperbacks from Hell and The Final Girl Support Group.

A Nightmare on Elm Street star Heather Langenkamp adds, “The Soul of Wes Craven reveals not only the soul but the brilliant mind that Wes Craven possessed. From his very humble upbringing to his death from brain cancer, we get a rare glimpse into the wide-ranging influences that made Wes Craven a visionary filmmaker. Illuminating and touching, I learned even more about the man who changed my life by casting me as Nancy Thompson in A Nightmare on Elm Street. This intimate, well-researched look into his life expands my appreciation of the maestro.”
