IFC Midnight has announced that they will be releasing the Danish virus thriller/horror What We Become in limited theaters and on all digital platforms as well as VOD on May 13th, which is coincidentally a Friday. The theater run seems limited to a few theaters in New York and Los Angeles.
In What We Become:
The Johansson family’s idyllic summer is brought to an abrupt halt as deaths stack up from a virulent strand of the flu. The authorities start off by cordoning-‐off the neighborhood, but soon panic and force the inhabitants into quarantine in their hermetically- ‐sealed houses. Isolated from the rest of the world, teen Gustav spies out and realizes that the situation is getting out of control. He breaks out, but soon the family of four comes under attack from the riotous, blood-‐thirsty mob who forces them to the extreme to escape alive.
Directed by Bo Mikkelsen and produced by Sara Namer, What We Become stars Mille Dinesen, Troels Lyby, Benjamin Engell and Marie Hammer Boda.
