Uncork’d Entertainment has gotten the worldwide rights to writer/director Justin Price’s supernatural horror film The 13th Friday, which they plan on releasing in early 2017.
Price says, “Uncork’d Entertainment has revolutionized independent cinema and there is no other outfit more fitting for ‘The 13th Friday’ than in their hands. We were very excited they decided to handle the worldwide rights to the film.”
When a female refugee discovers an ancient demonic device that opens the gateway to another realm, she unleashes a dark entity that poses as her daughter. After many failed attempts to have the church explain the creation of her worst nightmares, she learns that the house is cursed by an enraged spirit that died on Friday the 13th. And now a group of thrill seeking friends unknowingly unleash its wrath and damn their souls.
Uncork’d Entertainment and Price have worked together several times in the past with films such as The Cloth, Dark Moon Rising, and Forsaken.
Personal thought: How does the title reference the spirit that died on Friday the 13th? After all, the thirteenth Friday in 2016 was March 25th. Seems like a strange way to try to get a title that sounded familiar but was just different enough to not have a connection.
