First Look at Russian Horror ‘The Ice Demon’, Acquired by Shout! Studios for 2022 Release
Shout! Studios has acquired North American rights to Russian horror The Ice Demon, reports ScreenDaily who also shares the first image.
The feature is the directorial debut for Ivan Kapitonov, whose credits as a producer include the 2018 aquatic horror The Mermaid: Lake Of The Dead, notes the site.
“The Ice Demon unravels around a man’s sudden return home in a coma years after he’s gone missing, throwing his family’s life into disarray as his homecoming brings with it some terrifying and supernatural goings-on.”
Shout! plans a home entertainment and digital release in the USA and Canada next spring 2022.
The Ice Demon is produced by Kapitonov, alongside Svyatoslav Podgaevsky, Rafael Minasbekyan, Vadim Vereschagin and Alena Akimova.
After releasing in theaters last month, NEON announced today that horror romance Leviticus will arrive on digital platforms to rent or own beginning July 28, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on September 8, 2026.
Leviticus marks the feature debut by writer/director Adrian Chiarella.
Joe Bird (Talk to Me) and Stacy Clausen play star-crossed teenage boys who must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most — each other.
Mia Wasikowska (Crimson Peak), Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie (The Nightingale), and Davida McKenzie (Silent Night) round out the cast of horror movie Leviticus.
“Leviticus is a strong debut with an incisive voice at the helm,” I wrote in my review out of Sundance. “We care deeply about Naim and Ryan’s survival, making Leviticus a tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic vision of young love in a hateful world.”
“Leviticus is the perfect title for writer-director Adrian Chiarella‘s powerful feature debut,” Meagan’s review explains, “a searing anthem against the corrosive nature of fear and bigotry.”
The physical media release comes packed with exclusive bonus features, the home entertainment release includes a feature commentary with Adrian Chiarella, interviews with Chiarella, Stacy Clausen, and Joe Bird, an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, and the official trailer.
Look for Leviticus on Digital next week, and check out the box art for September’s Blu-ray release this September.
