Darren Bousman (Saw 2-4, Mother’s Day, Abattoir) is one of the most interesting filmmakers working within the horror genre, and we’ve been super excited to check out his female-led St. Agatha since we first reported on it earlier this year. Out of AFM, a deal has been inked.
Deadline reports that Octane Entertainment has just acquired worldwide sales rights to the psychological horror film, which is currently in post-production.
“Set in the 1950s in small-town Georgia, the film centers on a pregnant con woman named Agatha who is on the run and seeks refuge in a convent. What first starts out as the perfect place to have a child turns into a dark layer where silence is forced, ghastly secrets are masked, and every bit of will power Agatha has is tested as she learns the sick and twisted truth of the convent and the odd people that lurk inside its halls.”
Sabrina Kern stars as the title character, alongside Carolyn Hennesy, Courtney Halverson, Trin Miller, Lindsay Seim, Hannah Fierman and Seth Michaels.
Andy Demetrio, Shaun Fletcher, Sara Sometti Michaels and Clint Sears wrote the film.
