After world premiering at the 68th Berlin Film Festival, Tilman Singer’s Luz is headed to Fantastic Fest this week, and Variety reports that it’s found a home at Screen Media. The company has acquired North American rights to the film, with a release planned for 2019 in theaters across the United States.
“Every so often there’s a film that really unnerves, and just flat-out scares us,” Screen Media’s Seth Needle said. “Luz does exactly that. Tilman has made a beautiful but truly terrifying movie that people are going to be talking about for sure.”
The film stars Luana Velis as a young cabdriver who drags herself into a run-down police station while being pursued by a woman (played by Julia Riedler) who is possessed by a demonic entity.
Singer also wrote the script. Singer and Dario Mendez Acosta produced.
