Cleopatra Acquires Gothic Horror ‘Skin Walker’
Cleopatra Entertainment has acquired all North American rights to Skin Walker, a psychological horror film from Luxembourg/Belgium, Bloody Disgusting learned.
Directed by Christian Neuman, Skin Walker mixes gothic images, supernatural terror and psychological drama into a tribute to the great European horror movies of the 1970s.
In the film, “Regine is a fragile young woman trying to build a new life – safer and happier than the one she had as a child. However, escaping her trauma is not so easy, and when her grandmother is brutally murdered, Regine must return to the village she once left and revisit the gruesome horrors of her past to protect herself and her family.”
Udo Kier (Suspiria), Jefferson Hall (Halloween, “Game of Thrones”, “Vikings”) and Amber Anderson (In Darkness) star.
The film debuted previously at the 41st Cairo International Film Festival and at the 10th Luxefilmfest Luxembourg International Film Festival, and was honored at the IMAGO International Federation of Cinematographers Award for Best Young Emerging Cinematographer (Amandine Klee).
Skin Walker will see a limited theatrical release in select U.S. theaters late this summer, followed by a VOD and DVD release just in time for the fall season.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
