The Bloody Disgusting film library continues to grow as we’re excited to announce our second title with Doppelgänger Releasing (the genre label of arthouse distributor Music Box Films), the awesome German gothic horror film Hagazussa, which had its world premiere at the 2017 Fantastic Fest.
A feature film debut for director Lukas Feigelfeld, Hagazussa takes place in the Austrian Alps in the 15th century when people lived in fear of witches and ancient magic.
Hagazussa is Germany’s answer to The Witch that has stunning atmosphere mixed with brooding terror from start to finish. Fans of slow-burn horror are going to want to settle in next to a crackling fire and let the story wash over them.
The film was awarded Best Picture in the “Next Wave” Features category at Fantastic Fest 2017 and has toured the international festival circuit, including BFI London Film Festival 2017, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival 2017, Music Box Theatre’s Cinepocalypse 2017, and Morbido Fest 2017, to name a few.
This is a vastly different film from our comedy Heavy Trip, from first-time directors Juuso Laatio and Jukka Vidgren, which is now available on all VOD platforms. Here are a handful of previously released stills and international artwork. Fans of truly independent cinema are going to gush over this hidden gem!
Look for Hagazussa to be released in the first quarter of 2019.
